McKelvey 5: Birthday Girls!

Here's our little muffin, tater-tot, pixie, love bug, babygirl. These are all her names other than the one given to her - Kolbie! She thought she would chill on her birthday,while I made pancakes, eggs, and bacon for breakfast. Sunglasses and all, she was one lil' mama takin' a breather.

"I'm 3 now, I'm a grown up."

Kolbster and I celebrated our birthday's together on the 21st of February at the Macaroni Grill with family and friends. We also did a little play date for the little ones before the meal, to burn off some of their energy and excitement at the local Gymboree Family Play Gym.

Kobie got a bit of a bloody nose when the play date ended and the celebration began, so we had to stuff her nose with a little tissue. She's still such a dolly.

Kai was super excited for his lil' sis' birthday. Birthday's are always fun - time to celebrate! Plus his was only two weeks later, so he was patiently and happily waiting for the time to pass by.

Sadiyah is growing up so fast. It's really amazing how fast they grow. She will be 13 on Easter this year. She was excited for Kolbie's birthday and Kolbie really looks up to her! They are real pals and it is so cute to see them hang out together despite the age difference.

We couldn't have the perfect party with out the Tinkerbell birthday cake.

Auntie Marissa and Aurora came to the birthday bash,

as well as Uncle Daanyel, Auntie Vita, Taliya, Daylen, & Jr.

Quincy & his mom Amy came as well. Kolbie and he are "long time" friends. They started hanging out together and became buddies when Kolbie was 2 months old and he was 4 months old.

Taliya - Open Wide!

The presents came and Kolbie felt so special. She got wonderful and mostly practical gifts. This is her Tinkerbell that flies through the house - can't say very practical, but very fun.

Kolbie also got a tri-cycle. She loves it. She wanted to ride it so bad, she rode it around the restaraunt lobby.

And then she rode it more when we got home. 2 hours later we were able to get her in the house and to bed. It had been a very lond day.

Auntie Stacey's birthday was next. Ray, Stacey and the boys came over on the 22nd of Feb. and we shared cupcakes together. The kids were extatic to have cake again, this was the 3rd time in 3 days.

Because we celebrated Kolbie's birthday early with mine, I decided to have a low key day with her while the kids were at school to celebrate the actual day. I took her to the children's museum where she shopped, brushed the aligators teeth, painted her face, played with clay, built legos and most importantly took care of the babies at the doctors office at the museum.

I then took her to Build a Bear, where she got to use the money she was given for her birthday to get Tess. Her puppy dog, that has blue underwear, a pink with hearts hoodies, leggings and sketchers with roller skates attached. She then got another outfit from my best friend Elyssia, that was a blue tank top and shorts with a leash and collar.
