Isn't she beautiful?! Calleigh had a GREAT birthday weekend. She and I went to the American Girl Bistro for a "mommy and me" lunch. Of course, Ashley went with us and sipped tea from her very own tea cup. The food was good, the presentation was great, and the smile on her face throughout the lunch was priceless. Over and over she told me,
"This is the BEST birthday EVER!"
Our fun continued when we met up with Michael and Carson for a "staycation" in Anaheim. The hotel was within walking distance of Disneyland, so we took advantage of the location and walked our way to Downtown Disney for dinner and endless people watching. Calleigh proudly wore her "It's My Birthday" pin - courtesy of Disneyland - and made sure everyone knew she was celebrating. Today we spent the day at Disneyland and California Adventure enjoying the picture perfect weather and minimal crowds. Calleigh proudly wore her birthday pin again (even though it technically was not her birthday), and she thanked the many Disney cast members who wished her birthday blessings. She loved the attention! As we drove off into the distance via the Disney tram, Calleigh cried crocodile tears and said she did not want the day to end. Much like her mommy, she loves the party and would prefer for the fun to last and last.
It's been a fun birthday weekend and one I am sure she will remember for years to come.
Happy Birthday, Princess!
Calleigh's kindergarten class had an Oceanography unit this spring. During the unit, all of the kids were assigned an ocean animal for which to make a model and write a report. (side note - apparently California schools believe in projects. . .LOTS of projects. . .that are all very detailed and time consuming) Calleigh's assignment was to create a sea turtle model and write a research report about the sea turtle using facts she learned through books checked out from our library.
