After the fun afternoon at Casa Bonita, we came back to the house to let the kids take a nap. Aidan slept in the pack-n-play in Adrianna’s room and that went surprisingly well. Obviously he is used to sharing a room, but Adrianna isn’t (except for nap time at Nette’s). They did really good. Adrianna even sang to Aidan and talked to him when he was crying. She’ll be a great older sister (someday).
After naptime, it was time for pizza, presents, and ice cream cake! We had more visitors for the party too. Our neighbors (Janette, Ryan, Sean, and Shane) and also Shad and Lynette.
I will try to list out some of the great gifts Adrianna received because I know I like to read my old diaries from when I was a child and my present listings are always fun to reminisce over now (Care Bears, My Little Pony, etc).
- A beautiful dress and cute jeans, shirt, and sweater (with strawberries on them), a Webkinz puppy, and “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” book from Grammy and Grampy
- Word Whammer Magnet Set from Nana and Grandpa
- “Marvin K. Mooney Will you Please Go Now!”book from Aunt Karen and Uncle Zach
- Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck shirt/capris set and Vtech laptop from Aunt Cindy, Uncle Kendall, and Cousins Layla and Aidan
- Princess Stories book and stickers and “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See” book from Aunt Nga
- Super Miracle bubbles set from Cousin Ebony
- Darby and Pooh Bear outfit and purse with little girly play items from Nette, Sean, Shane, and Ryan
- A new pink scooter from Mommy and Daddy
I hope I didn’t miss any. Adrianna plays with all of the toys and we love all of the outfits so it was a wonderful birthday. I am also seeing some additional letter recognition as a result of the laptop and word whammer games. 🙂 Adrianna enjoys “working” on her laptop when she sees me on mine.
Her hair has gotten so long. She’s so pretty and she looks just like you!
