L had a SUPER Star Wars day yesterday and was bouncing and bouncing until she finally crashed, with her BB (Best Buddy) Jay by her side :)
L was pretty excited when she went to bed on Friday.
Boy-oh-boy, birthday excitement was all over the house.
She had sneaked into our bedroom and had fallen asleep in our bed .... PERFECT!!!
We had plenty of time to decorate her room and turn it into a Star Wars shrine :)
We changed the bedding (she had been asking for the Anakin blanket for .... I don't know but I heard it every day at least 10 times "Please Mama? Can I? Can I have it?"
So of course we had to ....
Lulu had chosen this poster to go up on her wall.
And we dressed up the fan/aka Lulu's Prince and now L's buddy Darth :)
A few Star Wars gifts
And the room was filled with balloons in every light saber color ...
We did this all while she was sleeping!
Love it when I can trick them/surprise them like that :)
Na-course the little one got a few "loonies" too. She has her PINK room now and thinks it's FABULOUS!!! ... and YES she said that.
Thanks Jule for letting her watch "Sharpay's movie" :)
The wall is done and came quite in handy for the b-day greetings of the day :)
7 candles and a life light
... CRAZY!!!
Since it was her special day she got to choose her lunch ... Papa Noodles ( aka Itchiban noodles YUKKK!). She LOVES this stuff!!! Thanks Pat for introducing her to that junk!
And off we went to meet some special people at a special place to celebrate a special girl.
Our other families the Gao/Xus and the Marriotts joined us at Joan's Farm in Livermore, our favorite Pumpkin Patch in the Bay Area.
WHO is that???
It's ME, Aiden!!!
He looked so awesome in all his padding :)
A little ride,
Some fun in the HUGE Corn Maze
A little show for the onlooker.
Icies ... THANKS uncle Chris, they were the HIT!!!
Best pic of the day!!!
Best Friends
... just like their mommies :)
One heart and one soul!
Panning for TREASURES.
(I now have two bags full of wet rocks in my house ... such treasures!!)
This is my attempt to get all 5 in one shot ...
And last but not least the Hay Ride with the whole gang :)
We ended the day with a dinner for 11 :) and drove home tired and full of too much good food.
Thank you guys for making this day so special for L.
She said the best part was having all of you there.
It sure felt like a big family-get-together!
xoxo
And since we never had a chance to finish L's cake yesterday we worked on that today ...
A bit scary looking if you asked me BUT the recipient was quite happy with it :)
And thanks to aunty Judy's awesome frosting it tasted much, much better than in looked.
(besides the black lips we all now have ... )
We chomped it down in-between Star Wars III.
... which BTW I wish I would have NOT let them watch.
L was quite beside herself afterwards. I feel quite bad about letting them watch it!
10 points from Mama and Papa for exposing their kids to age inappropriate materials! :(
It'll be "Fishtronaut" and "Diego" for a while again.
And this concludes yesterdays fun day ... which kind of merge into today.
I took my special day very quietly in (as I always do ... I prefer to hide on this day for some reason).
Pat and the Ls came home from skating and had made breakfast and brought me this ...
And then everybody went down for a little nap and I took off to check on the puppies that I had found on Friday and dropped off at the shelter in hopes that their owner would find them.
I remember how desperate we were when Dork had run away and I wanted to help these guys get home to their mom ASAP.
But then people said that they would be put down, they would be separated, I should have kept them at home and searched for their owner on my own and I had started to feel rather bad about my "good deed".
Prepared to break into the shelter and rip these guys out of the "death-chamber" I raced back to the shelter only to find out that their owner had picked them up 1 1/2 hours after we had dropped them off.
YEAHHHHH!!! I was SOOOO happy! This was the best part of my day!
... and of course the lovely cards, the wonderful supper and the quiet family day we had.
Now we can go back to "normal" and plan our Christmas Family Trip with the GANG :)
We are SOOOO excited guys!!!! Just please no Helicopter Landing Spot!!!
