August 7th is becoming quite an important day in our family. Not only is it Callie's birthday but it's also my cousin Yvonne's birthday, Callie's cousin Kristen's birthday and Captain's birthday. (My in-laws dog) We're starting to get quite a routine going for this date as there is often a lot to fit in. We start the day with Callie's request for breakfast, this year was eggs and toast, and then proceed with presents. Callie was quite good at giving us hints. (Well actually she just flat out told us what she was expecting.) It included a scooter, a star map and a garden ornament to be a companion for the rabbit she got from her Grandma. At 9:00a there is also a phone call from a special bear. Disney does character calls and Pooh Bear hasn't missed one since she was four.
At some point in the day we typically head over to cousin Kristen's. This year we were invited over for lunch where both girls get to wear their birthday girl crowns and exchange gifts. We got Kristen a Roo doll. The Winnie the Pooh franchise does very well in our family. After lunch we quickly headed home to decorate Callie's cake. She flip flopped a few times deciding which party would get the cake. In the end her real birthday party ended up with the "Constellation Cake". The constellation was Leo which is her birth sign.
For dinner we headed to White Spot with her Uncle Ronnie, Uncle Corey, Auntie Carmen and Kristen. There was more flip flopping here as we were originally going to go to Olive Garden but Callie decided she wanted to get a chocolate coin. After dinner we headed home for cake before going to sleep after a very long day.
