Here it is the end of the month and I finally have gotten the last of Carli's birthday celebration pictures on the blog. At least it isn't November!
The weekend following Carli's birthday, we drove up to meet Naggy and Pappy in Rockwall. They had just flown in the night before from a week long vacation up in New York and Niagara Falls. It was perfect timing to meet at Aunt Sarah's for a quick gathering.
We met for lunch at a really cool place called Shenanigan's. It was like Chuck-E-Cheese on steroids! The food is much better. We all treated the girls with game cards. Their second cousins, Isabella and Logan, met us there as well. We spent a good hour playing games and spending our tickets. The girls had a blast!
Before we headed off to Aunt Sarah's house to celebrate with cake and ice cream, Naggy and Pappy took the girls to the New Balance store to buy them some new shoes. Technically it was for Carli's birthday but they couldn't buy Carli a pair without getting Ava a pair too. The girls picked "rainbow" shoes. They are the neon shoes with every color you can imagine on them. They LOVE them. And I do too b/c it is a gift we use almost every single day. I'm a bit practical. :)
When we got to Aunt Sarah's house, Carli had cake and presents waiting on her. It was a nice surprise! Carli opened presents from Isabella, Logan, their parents and Aunt Sarah & Uncle Robert. Even Ava got a gift from Isabella. They are so sweet to make sure not to leave her out.
And then we had ice cream. Carli had escaped us singing Happy Birthday too her all week - but finally it caught up with her!
It was very good cake. We are very appreciative of everyone's efforts to make a special day for Carli!
Our Saturday in Rockwall was a great day. The girls really enjoyed getting to see their Naggy & Pappy and their cousins too. Ava fell asleep on the way to dinner and we never did get her to wake up for a bite before we headed home. She did manage to give some good bye hugs. Carli really had a great day - and a great birthday. Thank you all for making it special!
