Another first.........sushi!

I have been so "pictured out" since Katey's birthday, but I finally got something worth sharing. Okay, it's nothing earth shattering, but last night we went and had sushi for (Katey's) the very first time. She likes most of it........LOVED my tuna tataki which I finally had to pull away from her so I could eat a few pieces! Sita and I had to keep "shooshing" them so when they got outside, Anthony and Katey let out screams that I'm sure YOU probably heard. :)

Happy Birthday Katey!!!

Well, the day is just about over. Mom and Greg yawned all through dinner......it's been a long day! Katey had a wonderful birthday! I picked her up early (she loved being a "1:30 kid!") and took her for a special mini-manicure/pedicure. She thought it was the coolest thing! Her fingernails are pink with fish on them (so nice and tacky!) and I told her she could leave them on until Saturday.......certainly not going to church with them! :) Greg and I took her to Bonefish (her choice) for dinner and then we came home and blew out the birthday candles again. The cake, though still adorable, was a teensy bit stale so we ate one obligatory piece and the rest is off to cake heaven (aka: the trash!). It's so much fun having a 5 year old.........I highly recommend it!

Goodbye 4's, Hello 5's!

Katey was so excited as I tucked her into bed last night.........the last time as a 4 year old! Needless to say, she was even more excited when I woke her up this morning! The first thing she said was "PRESENTS!" Our day is just beginning so keep posted 'cause I have surprises coming all day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL 5 YEAR OLD GIRL!

The countdown continues......

It's birthday eve and we continued the celebration! Today we went to Chili's to meet Katey's friend Ty and her Mom and sisters for a bd lunch. Ty was unable to attend K's party yesterday so we took her a goodie bag and a bunch of cupcakes and we had a mini celebration. Then, Greg and I decided that since today was windy (post hurricane that we didn't get a drop of rain from, by the way), we would give Katey one of her presents early. The gift was a kite that she had wanted, so we took it out to Davis Islands (a mile away) and flew it for a while. It was a perfect day for kite flying. I can't imagine ever living away from the water........it is so beautiful. We're now in "relax" mode getting ready to gear up for the big day tomorrow. See you then! :)

Let the birthday festivities begin!

Happy Party Day Katey! Today was Katey's bd party with her friends at Pump it Up. As the Mom of the most important child in the room, I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked to, but here are a few. We all had a great time!! It's funny though, for as long as we've been planning this, it's very weird that it is all over. The cake drew rave reviews so I was relieved.........even better is that we had enough cupcakes so we didn't even have to cut into the cupcake cake so it's now wrapped up and sitting in the frig waiting for 9/2, the actual "day!" The birthday girl is upstairs snoozing away and I think her Mom is going to do the same. :)

Love this one too!
