On June 6th Ashlyn turned SEVEN
Russ tries to take the birthday girl out for breakfast, and they almost always choose donuts.
Our favorite donut shop has ENORMOUS cinnamon rolls.
For dinner Ashlyn chose Los Cucos, a Mexican restaurant she really likes.
Our awesome waiter informed the Mariachi Band that it was her special day, so they came over to our table and sang "Happy Birthday" and a few other numbers. She loved it, but was pretty embarrassed.
She asked for a "Watermelon Cake" this year, so I did my best. :{
Before we drove home from dinner we gave Kaylee and Ashlyn a small gift to open in the car. They each unwrapped 3 American flags. Confusion.
What did you get?
flags
How many?
3
How many did you get Ash?
3
Hmm . . . 3 flags + 3 flags . . . how many does that make?
6
. . . . . . .
SIX FLAGS!!!! We're going to SIX FLAGS!!!!!
Our main gift to the girls was passes to Six Flags.
And they made their first trip of the season the following day.
On June 7th Kaylee turned NINE
(this was taken at home just before the trio took off for Six Flags in San Antonio)
The all had an AWESOME time!
(in spite of Ashlyn's anger over Russ unintentionally taking her on a REALLY intense roller coaster)
Because Kaylee was at Six Flags on her actual birthday, we did her regular celebrations a few days later.
The donut shop also has GIANT apple fritters.
She loves a book series called "Warriors" (about some clans of wild cats),
so that's the cake she requested this year.
Russ thought my cake looked like a dung hill. He's mean.
All in all, another successful round of birthday celebrations!
