Birthdays start early in our house.  We “woke” Katriel with a birthday song and dressed her up in her “Minnie” clothes.
She was excited to see balloons and decorations, but was mostly hungry and asking for breakfast.


Nan was over early and brought her present then.  Hanny volunteered to help her open it.

 

It was pretty much a normal day from then on.  Dinner was pancakes and sausage.  It took ForEVer to make the pancakes as I had forgotten that I was down to one griddle.  It was a mess of a day, really…
    
She enjoyed a birthday phone call.

Then a few gifts. 
A microphone from Nene. 
And a dress, some sneakers, and GOLDFISH from Mommy and Daddy.
 
I think the Goldfish were her favorite part.


 
And cake.  There is always cake.
