Birthday Party Time!!

On Wednesday of course, it was Mikaylas 6th Birthday!! we had lots of fun, and started the day out with opening presents... she got a new Princess puzzle, a new Handy Manny game that teaches Spanish words, some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse stuff and a new Care Bear and Care Bear DVD... I have finally given up trying to pick things for her, so I asked her for specifically what she wanted this year...naturally she chose the Grumpy Care Bear... she is so funny, now she has a Grumpy Care Bear and a Grumpy Dwarf from Snow White...

Next we made cupcakes together. She couldn't decide if she wanted to do Princesses again like last year, or Tinker Bell... so we did both! While the cakes were cooling we went to Kangaroo Zoo (her favorite place in the whole world!) and let the kids play for a few hours... they had so much fun jumping and going up and down the sides! Jaden even went on hte biggest slide again and again!! (he ususally chickens out!) and Mom even went down the dragon slide! (I really wanted to see what it is like, so even though I didn't pay full price, I took advantage of ONE slide!!) Then, when we got tired and too hungry to jump anymore, we went to lunch at Wendy's.

When we got home, we all frosted and decorated the cupcakes (pink cakes for the princesses and green cakes for Tinker Bell...), and sang Happy Birthday-(true to form, she plugged her ears for the song... she is such a ham... she loves music and her own singing... but as soon as anyone else starts to sing, she plugs her ears and tells them (me usually) to stop that yucky singing... ) The kids ate as many cupcakes as they could get down before Mom and Dad caught on and made them stop (about 3 each! which was a good thing because 24 cupcakes for just the 4 of us is ALOT of cupcakes...) All in all it was a fun day full of all of Mikayla's favorite things and activities, so even though it was just us... she still had a great day!
