Today this sweet girl turned 7. SEVEN! Can you believe it?
The celebration began yesterday afternoon with a Kitten-themed birthday bash at our house. Sami and seven of her little friends donned ears and whiskers for some furry fun! We had kitty decorations, played kitty games and a cake which could ONLY be described as Purrrrrrrrrfect! Here's why:
The credit for this adorable creation goes to my most wonderful and talented sister, Tena, and her equally super and talented husband, Mike! They are the cake experts in our family and have made each of Sami's special request cakes so far! Tena has a bum shoulder right now, so most of the detail-work (which is quite time-consuming and tedious by the way,) fell to Mike's ever-qualified hands. So Mike, I owe you for this one especially!! You have a high-grade six-pack coming your way, along with a HUGE hug from Sami!
Here's a few more shots from the feline festivities:
-Waiting for the party to begin......
-Pretty little kittens all in a row!
-Who wants cake??
Gift opening wonderment...
Two girls bein catty!
Ready for the last bite of what should have been a long-lasting lollypop!
At the end of the party, we had a very happy kitty-girl with a big pile of loot behind her!
Today, we continued the birthday fun by bringing donuts for Sami's class. Then we went out to dinner tonight at her MOST favorite feeding place -- Golden Corral! Here is Sami posing with her birthday gift from me - a kitty Webkin she has named "Copycat."
The staff at the restaurant brought her a cupcake and sang a big loud song. Sami was not sure how to react, and just kinda sat there staring while they all sang. It was pretty funny to see her with nothing to say!
You can see by the assortment of other desserts on her plate why this place is one of her favorites! She was spinning like a top, chattering away for an hour after we got home! Right now? Following a hot shower and the inevitable "sugar crash," my little birthday angel is fast asleep!
Tomorrow night, we continue the celebration for one more day, going out for pizza with my boyfriend and his son. I suspect that by Wednesday our lives will do the 180 degree focus shift to Christmas again! I really love this time of year though, so many fun things going on! Hope you are all doing well and I will try to post more frequently -- I know, I say that every time, but really, I will!
XOXO
Very cute, I love the cat theme. Great work. Happy Birthday Sami!
