Collins is the grand finale of family birthday celebrations. She does not like coming last in the birthday rotation, but Brian points out that she is actually first in the calendar year. Regardless the calendar flipped to February, and Collins announced that her birthday MONTH was here!
She actually turned out to be right because she had three weekends in a row of being celebrated. The first weekend in February Mimi and Baba came to town for her birthday, the second weekend Poppy and Nana came to town, and the third weekend was her actual birthday party.
Let the festivities begin! Our time with Mom and Baba began with a tasty Bella Monica dinner and a special requested birthday dessert- banana pudding. :) An odd request for February, but Collins knows what she wants and she wanted a banana pudding.
She was sweet to make Mimi, Baba, and Alli some gifts...
and she was thrilled with the gifts she received in return...a lego set! She said all she wanted for her birthday was lego sets this year. She could not wait to get started.
On Saturday, Mom and Baba loved getting to see the Lady Gators play...and guess what? Collins scored her first basket!!! Her face was priceless after it went down- a mixture of shock and happiness. :) It was so neat to see.
The rest of our weekend was spent like this...Collins and Baba got some good quality time together putting together the catamaran (we're talking like 5 hours!), and Mimi and Luke and Addie got lots of play time in. And I got to run a few errands! Great weekend to celebrate Miss Collins- round #1. :)
Oh, and where was Brian during all this? Boys weekend skiing in UT!
