Kira's birthday "was the best ever!"

Kira had such a great day yesterday!  Her teacher said that she beamed as her class sang happy birthday to her and she loved getting her 6 tickles too!  We had a great birthday dinner....tacos, chips, salsa and rice at her request.  Her presents were a hit and she's so excited that she got Build-A-Bear giftcards and can't wait to go use them.  She loved talking to Eema and Bumpa on Skype and getting to talk to Grandma and Grandpa VK on the phone.  Her pink cake was "awesome" and once she was done with her bath, the excitement wore off and she was begging to go to bed!!  Fun day!!

Cupcakes that she took to school

Her taste-test to be sure they were "good enough!"

Presents!!

Remembering to atleast look at the card! :-)

Bananagrams and a Build-a-bear gift card from Bantas

Cake time!  Glad she was excited!  Told her afterwards that Mommy DROPPED the 1st cake that she made all over the floor!  Oops!

Checking out the pink in her cake!

Time to EAT!!!

Kira's in full planning mode!!!

Kira's birthday is just around the corner and I think it's safe to say that she's in full planning mode.  We've only talked a little about her actual birthday party since it won't be until the end of February.  She is excited to have her party with Eva and Mommy is going to go with that since I'm sure it won't be long before she wants her own party! :-)  So right now, she's in deep thought about what she wants for her birthday dinner....tacos is the last thing that she mentioned.

She's more concerned about what treats she is going to take to school and is excited to take Rainbow Cupcakes...Mommy only hopes that hers will turn out this cute!!  (with much less frosting!!) :-)

She also decided that she wants a rainbow cake for her "at home birthday!"  Think she's milking the "how much cake can I get out of Mom?"  I've seen some really fancy layered ones but I think that this one will be more my speed!!

I guess the only thing she thinks that she left to figure out is what color frosting she wants on her cake.....I'm pushing for white and telling her it would be like the cloud at the end of the rainbow!!

Mommy thinks that sounds like a great idea!!!
