Cambrie's 9th Birthday


On the Thursday Cambrie turned 9 years old. Crazy how time flies! We have had a great week celebrating. On Thursday we celebrated just as a family. She was so excited because she got her heelies (shoes with wheels in the heels). She woke up that morning and didn't open any gifts because she wanted to wait for us all to be together and Rob had already went to school. So that evening after piano lessons and soccer practice (hence the school shirt, with the practice shorts and shin guards) she finally opened her gifts. It was dark out by the time she got her heelies on so we went out into the garage for her to practice. It took a few trips back and forth in the garage, but she is a pro now.

On Friday we had a party with Grandma Linda, Uncle Kevin , Aunt Paige, Brennen, Luke, Uncle Jon, Aunt Kellee and Brooklyn. She had a great time and especially loved the giant poster of "Troy" from High School Musical she got from my brother and his family. (Just wait Kevin...I still have to give Brennen something for his birthday...ummm...maybe a big poster of Gabriella) :)



On Saturday she had her friend party. We had a movie theme. We sent out invitations that were movie tickets to the Lake Cinema. When the girls arrived Cambrie gave them an envelope with money in it for the food court, concession stand, and to buy their tickets to the movie. We all became employees of the Lake Cinema. Parker and Mykenna ran the concession stand and did a great job giving out the popcorn, candy bars and capri suns! They really got into it. It was fun to watch. Rob and I ran the pizza joint and box office. We blacked out the basement and made a curtain and borrowed a projector for the movie theater. Cambrie wanted to watch "Are we done yet" and the girls enjoyed it! After the movie we opened gifts and had cupcakes and ice cream. It was a fun evening.

Oh. My. Gosh. What a neat Mom you are. Those are such great ideas and looks like everyone had a fun time.
P.S. How did you get your template to work again? Is it from another website? Mine is totally freaked out.

Ok, so that is the cutest creative party.I wish I could've gone to the Lake cinema. Sorry we didn't get to talk with the birthday gal on her day, but we'll call tomorrow before family night. We love you and miss you all. Kim-you win the awards for that one. So great!
