She started the day yesterday with a fun surprise of donuts from Dad and Alli! Miss Alli decided to get up wayyyyyy too early so Mike figured that was an omen that donuts were needed! :-) She was able to open a gift with her breakfast and chose one from Mike and I... The new Disney Rocks cd and some new summer clothes made her smile which made me smile.
After everyone got ready for the day we had some time to open some additional gifts before getting on the school bus for school. All of which she loved.
As we were walking out the door she got the first of many happy birthday phone calls from Grandma and Pa Ewing.
She had a great time at school... Daddy brought her lunch and ate with her in the cafeteria. Mommy brought her cupcakes to school to share with her class. After school we had to rush off to a church retreat in preparation for her celebratig her First Reconciliation this morning. We were there until about 8pm and when we got home we found that Daddy and the girls had decorated yet another treat for Miss Megan...
Thinking of the perfect wish
Today brought us Megan making her first Reconciliation. She asked me to NOT bring the camera but then allowed my friend Geri to take some pictures of her... So, those will have to be posted later. She was so nervous about the sacrament, but afterwards said it was not as bad as she thought it would be and the priest was very nice. Here she is before we left for church.
When we got home we were able to rest a little and then get ready for a fun evening to celebrate the big birthday with aunts, uncles, Grandma, Pa and cousins... Megan wanted pizza, fruit, chocolate covered pretzels... quite the combo! :-) Mommy made the choc covered pretzels last night after the retreat and at 1130pm got the great idea that she was going to make a double decker cake for Megan. Everytime I have done this it has not turned out but I decided to try, So, I made 2 round cakes and let the cool overnight. This morning got up early and frosted it and got the cupcakes finished. Put the cake on the plate with the glass dome to go over it only to discover the cake was TOO BIG for the dome... So, we got it re-frosted and covered it in saran wrap and Megan loved it... I am sure all the kids did giving it took 3 cans of frosting to frost the thing! :-)
THE CAKE
Megan is realizing that she got earrings and yes, a gift card to get her ears pierced over Spring Break.
YEA! Mario Kart... guess what we are going to be doing tomorrow! :-)Thanks to all of you for thinking of Megan. She loved all the phone calls and messages... Tilghmans... you did a great job singing Happy Birthday! She loved all her gifts... She was so excited to get "big girl" gifts... clothes, gift cards, WII stuff, Scene It DVD game, books, bath gift set... She had a great birthday. And it is not over yet... We still have the party with friends in a couple of weeks (after Spring Break) at the swim school... swimming, crafts, food and cake... Sounds like fun! Stay tuned!
Happy Birthday Megan. We love you!
