Happy Birthday Carli

Carli had a birthday last week. She is always dressed up for her birthday since it is so close to Halloween. This year I think she was three different things for different parties. It's gotten to the point now where I just say, "You can be whatever you can find in our dress up bin or what we can borrow." I hate to buy more Halloween costumes. We have so many. Anyways, Carli was super excited for her birthday. She kept asking/begging me to open her presents early. She had already gotten her main present from us and from my mom which was a snowboard and boots. Her most favorite present was a simple piece of paper that Lindsey gave to her. It had 25 tokens on it that she can cut out and redeem to sleep in Lindsey's room. It was such a thoughtful gift. Anyone who knows Carli well knows that she HATES to sleep in her room by herself. Lindsey was so sweet and excited to give it to her. I brought her breakfast in bed (Lindsey's bed because that is where she was) and Mojo was excited to join in on the morning celebration as well!

She also got an art easel. She was so excited and informed Del that it MUST be put together by the time she returned home from school so she could play with it. He was a very good sport and had it done before he left for work. She hasn't stopped playing school yet! She is a bossy teacher, though.
Happy Birthday Carli! WE LOVE YOU!
