Well Cait celebrates her birthdays like I used to...for like two weeks! We started out this year's celebration with a birthday party at Uncle Brian and Aunt Liz's, where we celebrate three birthdays, Cait, Uncle Brian's and mine.
Next we went to Jungle Java with all of her friends, which was a blast, 22 kids, and three hours of pandomonium. The first and last of the big birthday parties, so we made sure to invite all of her friends from school.
We then took the 24th off and picked her up early from school. From there we went to Build a Bear and ate a yummy pretzel from Auntie Anne's. The pretzel place is Cait and I's secret vice...they are so good but so bad for you!!! Tony wasn't impressed. We picked Cam up from school and went to Red Robin...where we all sat at the bar, Cam swears it is quicker up there.
Lastly, on Easter we celebrated her birthday with her cousin Alanna with all of the Bacarella's.
My little one was so excited to be 5, and I was so sad to think that it has been 5 years since I held her for the first time. Time flies...but it speeds by when you have kids. She is so beautiful because her heart is soooo big just like her eyes. Having her brings so many things to us, but the ones that stick out in my mind are: how she stops to pick every flower she walks by only to give it to me, how she collects rocks on the playground and brings them home for the washing machine to clean, how she holds her baby doll and you can tell how great of a Mom she will be someday, hugs and kisses whenever you want them or least expect them, the expressions and faces she makes, and lastly without Cait I would have never got to enjoy or see how great of a big brother Cam is. The last 5 years have brought us countless memories of life with a little girl...
