Nov 2011: Family Birthday

Having a birthday right around Thanksgiving has some benefits. This year Cara's birthday fell during the Thanksgiving break. So she got pancakes for breakfast, a trip to the cake decorating store to pick out decorations for her birthday cake, going to a movie in a theater (The Muppets) and finally birthday cake and presents.

Not on the schedule was fever that developed later that evening and subsequent trip to the emergency room when we noticed how rapid her breathing way. Not pneumonia - just one of the nasty viruses. And she was back to cheerful self in a little over a day.

Blowing out the candles. Cara picked out the rose for the center.

Reading the card.

How did you know I wanted a cabbage for my birthday!

Really Mom, you shouldn't have.

Big boxes are always exciting.
