And Then There Were 5: Happy Birthday Trinity

Yesterday was Trinity's birthday...9 years old!! She was so excited! She wanted to go to the duck pond for her birthday but it ended up snowing and it was colder than 40 degrees outside so we said we would take her when it was warmer and she could play on the playground and feed the ducks without turning into ice statues.

Here's what our day looked like:

Trinity ordered French Toast for breakfast so Craig made us some healthy french toast with strawberries...yum!

Here he is cooking and won't let me take his picture. I got a picture of his cute buns but that's for my eyes only!

Trinity opening her watch (her other watch made her skin break out in a rash so we got her one in her favorite color...it was so hard to keep it a secret)

It even has a cool nightlight...she loved it! I actually bought this at Christmas

She retired her Mickey Mouse watch that she can't wear to her brother...he loves it!

Her Princess comforter from Grandpa and Grandma Belt! Thank you Grandpa & Grandma!

Isn't he so handsome? He has been so good lately about sharing and using his manners and not throwing fits!

More of her bedding...I've got it set up in her room and I'll take some pictures and post them as soon as I can. It turned out beautiful!!

She wanted to decorate her own cake...and with Annaliese cutting her top teeth and whining at everything unless Mama holds her I let her at it...

Here's the cake with some icing and edible glitter

Here it if finished. Pretty isn't it? I thought she did great! She wants to own her own bakery someday and I think she will be great at it! (she also wants to be a nurse like Florence Nightingale she is gonna be busy)

We ate Panda Express Chinese food and then finished off with cake (so much for being a healthy eater this week!)

Brendan's favorite part...eating the cake (he will be at Trinity's bakery often tasting the icing and cake in between his jobs as race car driver, fireman, and Christian rock star)
