Birthday Cake

Caitlyn Turns Five!

Auntie Debbie & Uncle Brian were driving home from Toronto and stopped in for dinner. I have a feeling that my girls had a fun time, especially since Debbie & Brian bought us KFC for dinner!

Uncle Brian was being very silly with Caitlyn! "I'm watching you!"

So, the Event of Fall 2009 finally arrived- Caitlyn's 5th Birthday! Here are some of the decorations in our basement for the exciting day. When we first asked Caitlyn if she wanted to have a birthday party, she said 'Yes!', then when we asked her who she wanted to invite, she said 'Max!'. Max was so excited to be invited. he has now invited Amanda, Caitlyn, Hannah and I to his house to play Hotwheels.

We had planned on going to a local farm to go on a horse wagon ride, do a corn maze, etc. but it had been raining all week so the farm was really wet; even the morning of the party. Luckily, we had a backup plan. We had the party in our basement and we decorated pumpkins, had a 'non-violent' Pinata, and made hot dogs for lunch.

Here is Caitlyn's friend Max with his decorated pumpkin.

Hannah loved the glitter paint and stickers!

Everybody, pull a string and watch for falling candy!

The Little Mermaid cake was 'yummy'
