Pencil Me In

Heidi's birthday got crazy-busy yesterday! Even I was exhausted at the end of the day!

Here's the rough itinerary: 8am breakfast and gift with family, 8:30am Pre-school (where she had a little party with chocolate chip muffins and juice provided by mom), 11am Haircut at Root 66, 12noon Happy Meal lunch with Daddy, 12:30pm Date with Aunt Debbie Holm (shopped for bday treat), 2pm pick up Addie and Daddy to go to matinee in Bozeman, 2:45 visit bookstore while waiting for movie, 3:15-4:45 watched "Horton Hears a Who", 5:30pm dinner at Grandma's with Gray cousins, 6:30pm cake & presents, 7:30om phone date with Aunt Lisa, Uncle Will, and Uncle Sam who were all together in Phoenix, 7:45pm-CRASHED!

I am sad that I didn't take pictures of Heidi's haircut, lunch date, and treat date with Aunt Deb, but here are some pix of our other activities...

Melin Kids with the Horton Poster
Heidi loves Horton (This book was my favorite when I was a little girl, too--I loved the message). Daddy, Heidi, and Addie waiting forthe movie to start

Grandma Rosalie made this darling cake for Heidi--she's so sweet!
She also made Heidi a beautiful new dress for her birthday, but somehow I didn't get a picture of her holding it up...? I'll take one when she wears it.

After a spaghetti dinner, the kids gathered round to sing Happy Birthday...
Heidi LOVED her elephant cake!!!!

TIME FOR PRESENTS! This cute elephant bench was Heidi's first gift from mom & dad...(isn't the summer stuff at Target ADORABLE!?! It took all my will power not to buy the lady bug garden clogs and umbrella!)
To go with the bench, here's an elephant sprinkler for summer fun!
And an elephant throw blanket from IKEA (click)--it goes with the bedding we have planned for Heidi's new room. (And here's Addie's)

The Grays gave Heidi this "vintage" elephant penny bank--it's really cute how the pennies drop down the trunk.
James likes Heidi's bench! (He's sitting on it right now watching Sesame Street)
James and Rosalie try out Heid's Bench.

What a fun day! Thanks everyone who helped celebrate our Sunshine Girl!
(and thanks for all the pre-birthday gifts from Aunt Amie -dance outfit, Nana-bag of fun elephant stuff, and Great-Grandma & pa Elrey-birthday card and dollar).
