MY BABY is 5!
Whoa...how did that happen?
We celebrated mermaid style.....
{Even though I've kinda had a love/hate relationship with all things mermaid
since that darn ROADSHOW last year, I had to oblige.}
She wanted the decor to be a surprise.
Seeing her party table for the first time!
We had Oysters and Pearls...
{vanilla wafers, with blue frosting and a white sixlet...on sand brown sugar}
saw this idea several places on line, printables from HERE
Kate didn't like the taste of them... haha
Nor the taste of the blue cake
{we were batt'in zero on the food...haha}
Emma made the cakes for me....three little ones...and no, those are not edible seashells. :)
This cake was just for decoration.
We had Sushi!
Compliments of Ichiban.
Yummo!
Kate took to some sushi takeout Kyleigh had from Tsunami last weekend, so I thought...
"hey let's do sushi for Kate's birthday" ....
ties in with the theme ya know...ocean seaweed....
Um...Kate had one piece of her birthday sushi.
Why is that?
When I say we batted zero on the food, I'm not kidding. ;)
{other than her plain 'ole vanilla ice cream cone later that night...that was a hit}
Salt Water Taffy and Vanilla Cupcake Fishie Crackers...
The drink!
I made the mermaid centerpiece. Used an old cork board I had kick'in around. Found a mermaid silhouette on line that I cut out...glued it to sparkly paper and embellished it with twine and seashells...easy peasy!
Even Hannah's fish "Salvatore" joined us for the
par-tay.
Kate was all about opening her gifts!
Gma C's gift to Kate...A celtic MA doll. It's tradition.
The message in a bottle....
found this cute nautical bottle at Michael's. Filled it with sand and pebbles and one last gift...
A ticket to see Ariel that very night at Disney On Ice!
Awe..they were so surprised. and excited!
Kate's birthday breakfast!
Birthday treat to share with her classmates!
Happy Birthday to my lover bug.
Love this girl to pieces!
In other family news...
Hannah got her braces off! *****happy dance*****
Dr. Horsley was out of the office that day so she got her pic with the hygienist. :) Super nice people at this place. Been going here for 9 years now. Highly recommend them if you are looking for an excellent Orthodontist.
Donuts are her favorite :)
Four out of the seven of us have birthday's in less than a month's time.
That would include the hubs.
Here's the birthday boy enjoying his birthday dinner!
Love this guy!
He's my better half in many ways. :)
Brie's first pie that she made herself! I was impressed.
TV Love!
With another season of Downton having come and gone again, I just might need this t-shirt that Kyleigh saw on Pinterest.
Dang.
I hate when it ends and we have to wait...for another 10 months.
So how 'bout that Carson and Mrs. Hughes!
It's about flipp'in time I say.
{Quite possibly the most heart warming moment of the season. for me.}
LOVE THEM!
Speaking of heart.
Where is Mary's?
I was not a fan of hers this season. Too snooty and cold.
{Not quite sure what Matthew saw in that woman. He definitely brought out the best in her.}
Love Violet and Isobel's friendship. So endearing.
The Bates situation needs to go bye bye. Enough already.
Miss Sara Bunting. Good Riddance.
Loved Roses' pale blue wedding suit. However, I'm wondering why she didn't wear the dress she was seen in after. That looked more like a wedding dress...no? Both were gorgeous though. The costuming in this show....to.die.for.
Happy to see Edith finally happy. Jeesh.
I think Mosley and Baxter should get it on. 1920's style ;)
Surprised and delighted to see Declan {Matthew Goode}, from the movie Leap Year, as a possible suitor for Mary.
************************
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but
I AM NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAY WE LOVE THE GRAND HOTEL.
{Gran Hotel in Spanish}
Quite possibly mine, Kyleigh, and Emma's favorite TV show.
That we've EVER watched!
That we've EVER watched!
That is a bold statement, com'in from this period drama junkie.
Someone has described it like Downton on steroids. haha
{either that, or the board game Clue on steriods.}
So much mystery, intrigue, suspense and plot twists...
So much mystery, intrigue, suspense and plot twists...
it makes Downton seem slow and boring.
The Castilian Spanish these actors speak. Beautiful.
There are only two seasons on Netflix right now.
WE ARE DYING FOR MORE.
I seriously called Netflix to petition for season 3.
{I never do stuff like that.}
If you can handle reading English subtitles.
It is well worth it.
It is well worth it.
Serious shout out to Julio, Alicia and Andres! ;)
MOVIE LOVE!
Have I told you how much I enjoy this show?
It comes close to cracking in to my top 30 favorite movie's list HERE.
Watched it with the hubs tonight.
Can't wait to see the sequel..out this weekend!
