This year for Katrina's birthday, 6 years old already,
we blessed her with 6 special activities leading up to her big day.
Monday -- date with Mama to the mall
Tuesday -- date with Papa to Culver's
Wednesday -- date with Samuel for a smoothie at McD's
Thursday -- date with Nani to Clay Corner, birthday party dinner with the Drexler's
Friday -- family date watching Dolphin Tale
Saturday -- family date to the dog show at the mall
Then, on her big day, we went to her favorite restaurant, Noodles & Co.
and came back home for a family build-your-own fruit pizza party.
We held a contest where Katrina was the judge of who built
the best fruit pizza. There were few guidelines and some of the
contestants really went all out.
Katrina had a clip board and was writing down everyone's names
while they built their pizzas.
She was making rounds,
"checking in on all the contestants."
She made sure I was taking pictures of each finished pizza
and then she gave the contestants the
go-ahead to eat their creations.
At the end of the building she had planned to look at all
the pictures but when she saw Uncle Nick's design she told me
secretly, "I don't have to look at the pictures. I know
Uncle Nick won."
She awarded Uncle Shawn second place and
Aunt Leanne came in third.
It was a fun party and a fun game!
Afterwards Pancho said, "Boy, Shawn and Nick
sure are competitive!"
Katrina requested 6 candles in her fruit pizza so we
obliged and sang to our big girl!
Happy birthday, Katrinita!
