Cambree is 11 on 11/11!!

I blinked, and my baby girl is 11! She is our laughter, our drama, our joy, our chatterbox, our news reporter, our bookworm, our chef and seamstress, our big-hearted, compassionate delight! Happy 11th Birthday on 11/11 Cambree Rain!!

Blu got up early to take his baby girl for a donut run! :)

When they got back, it was presents time! She loved her new book series of The Selection!

This was her face when Caedmon told her she could have ALL the candy in the fort! (I was thinking.."there's candy in the fort?!")

Something she'd been asking for forever - a Fitbit!

Her card from Mama Dee & Grandpa!

They also got her a mermaid blanket!

And a leopard neck pillow and sleep mask!

Cason gave her his Nerf gun! (a hot commodity in the Hunger Games around here!)

A fluffy robe!

A journal and pen set from Whitney & Hannah!

She also got a new workout outfit and new tennis shoes!

After presents, it was time to head to her two volleyball games, where they got their first win!

After the party, we headed to Seal Gym for another great party!

Daddy & Cason on the slide!

Blu & Paw attempting the Worm! (It didn't go well..)

Brothers..minus one!

Hugs for Bmaw!

She chose a pink & gold theme...I thought her cake looked a little like a hamburger bun!

Run, Cason!

The whole group!

Silly pic!

She had lots of friends there!

Pretty pink & gold!

The long jump competition!

Even Paw competed!

Presents - she got some cute things! My favorite was a HUGE stuffed pig piggy bank!

Such fun!

The Garrett family drove 1 1/2 hours to be there!

Pumpin' those weights!

After the party, we had a little bit before her cousin's sleepover party that night, so we hit the town for some girl time! First stop: Claire's to spend a gift card and get some fake nails, which we then put on in the mall food court!

Then she decided she wanted a new 'do!

Our gorgeous girl (inside and out) had an awesome 11th birthday. She is such a blessing to our family!

Cason's 9th Birthday Party!

Cason's birthday is ALWAYS over Thanksgiving (this year it's on Black Friday!), so his birthday parties in the USA are always not very well attended! This year, we decided to shoot for 3 weeks early, and he's made a ton of new friends at school, so we had a blast celebrating him! We had his party at Seal Gym where he takes his Ninja Warrior classes, and I literally paid the money, sent invitations, and did NOTHING else! The cake, decor, setup, cleanup, was all done by Seal! We had such fun celebrating our "baby!"

The dads (brothers) might have had as much fun as the kids..

The boys table!

These brothers actually acted like they loved each other today!

Cason and his friend Christian

Lego Ninjago!

Yum!

Such a cute party room (that I didn't have to decorate!)

The girls table + Caedmon!

The group on top of the bounce house!

I think he's having fun!

Paw and Bmaw enjoying the fun!

A ride from big brother!

He got lots of Lego building sets - if we wonder where he is for the next few days..it's upstairs building stuff!

And next week, we'll do it all again for Cambree's 11th! After the party, we hit the road for a quick 2 hour jaunt to Georgetown, TX to share at a church tomorrow, lunch with our Jacey, and back for a family cookout! (Sidetone: our time in the USA is over halfway done, and it is STILL in the 80s in Texas..!!!!! :(

Titans!

Today was the last game for Cason's soccer team, The Titans! They were a newly formed team and didn't get many wins (ok...they got 1 win!), but they had fun at practices and games and improved so much throughout the course of the season! Cason had a blast playing, and we all had a blast watching him play! B-maw brought her camera to the last game, so we now have these amazing photos of our #66 going hard!
