It's so hard to believe that My tiny little baby is now a 9 years old! Where has the time gone????? Cai Lynn is my feisty 4th grader who is always in competition with her brothers and everyone else. Straight A student, reading books that her brothers are reading and always a go-getter.
Cai Lynn had two wishes for her birthday: 1 An American Girl doll 2: A Rainbow cake. (which I tried to talk her out of. LOL) Well, she got both. She has been looking at the catalogs for months (well, for years, but diligently for months.) and picking out the exact doll she wants to "make". I ordered what she wanted and had it shipped... there it sat until the "big day".
Before school she opened a few small items and took some "doughboys doughnut holes" to school to share with her class.
After school and before "Activity Days" at church, we went to "Noni's" house for dinner, cake and presents.
So I work the "Graveyard shift" two nights a week and happened to get off the morning of her birthday at 6:30am, she opened a few things, Michael went off to seminary, they got off to school, and I went to bed. When I got up I had a cake to make. ACK and a rainbow cake at that! So here it goes....
We dug in...
It was a quick celebration at my mom's before we headed off to Michael and Jared's Court of Honor and Cai Lynn's "Activity Days". (Where she brought cookies to share with everyone.) She kept saying all day what a fun birthday it was.... I hope it was!
