Happy Birthday Courtney













Courtney LOVES any stuffed animal! So for her birthday of course she wanted a Webkinz and the Littlest Pet Shop stuffed animal! She really wanted to have a Littlest Pet Shop birthday but we could only find paper products online. Finding this out the day before her birthday did not leave time to order them! She settled on a homemade cake from mom and stickers on plain plates! She picked her favorite foods-Grilled Salmon, Sweet potato fries, broccoli and cauliflower. We had these for dinner.
Courtney is our dramatic child so the night proved to be interesting. She ate her dinner quickly and then proceeded to wash the dinner dishes. Tim, the rest of the kids, Grandma, Grandpa and I were still filling our plates. She really wanted to open her presents! When we finally decided it was time to open gifts, Courtney had a dramatic reaction to each one. I was not particularly thrilled with her dramatic fainting, throwing the gifts in the air, or screaming, so there are no photos of this behavior. She did receive some nice things and her big gift from the American Girl Store has yet to arrive (Nellie). I can't believe she is six. She will be starting first grade in a few weeks! Time is really flying by!
