Birthday recap

We've all been sick in varying stages since the birthday festivities last week. So I'm a bit delayed in posting this, but better late then never. Haven actually slept in on her birthday which was a welcome relief after days of 5:30 wake ups! Cale and I told her she could have anything she wanted for breakfast- no limits. Ice cream was even offered. Guess what she picked? Pretzels and a piece of cheese! We enjoyed a lazy morning at home with Cale and opened her presents. The big hit this year was a kids digital camera! Then went to the bookstore to pick out some new books with a gift card she received. She was delighted as books are one of her very favorite things.

"I always wanted one of these!"

We didn't have a party for her this year, but did do a few things to make the day special. When I asked her what she wanted to do she said,"Go to Chick-fil-a for lunch and eat cake with my friends." Easy enough. We met up with a few people for lunch on Wednesday and enjoyed eating together and letting the kids play. We meet with our home group on Wednesday nights so that proved to be a perfect opportunity to let Haven eat cake with friends.

As I tucked her into bed that night I asked her what her favorite part of the day was and her reply was, "Everything!" I guess we'll call that a success!
