Cayman turns 4!

Happiest Birthday to our Cayman! She turned 4 on October 21st. Here she is just about a week old and look at her now! I still can't believe how big she is getting. Cayman wanted an Ariel Little mermaid party this year. We had great fun decorating and trying to make it look like the sea. I tried! It turned out really cute.

Here is her Little Mermaid cake.


Cayman was so happy when Aunt Mel and Uncle Phil were here when she woke up. They came from Idaho and surprised her in the morning. Cayman of course, had to have them take her to pre-school. After class, we went to a birthday lunch at Mcdonald's with Aunt Alli and Uncle Paul and Aunt Mel and Uncle Phil. She had a party with her friends in the afternoon and had so much fun. We bought a bubble machine and it was going when her friends came in.They colored pictures of The Little Mermaid, Played pin the Crown on Ariel, made goldfish bowl stickers,
had their toes and fingernails painted and I attempted face painting. With all these fun activities, I couldn't have done it without the help of my sisters Alli and Mel. Thanks so much again for helping me! You guys were lifesavers!
We had all the girls get their pictures taken in a carriage when they walked in and then had the pictures printed for them to take home. Can you find the only boy in here? We opened presents from her friends and family and she got a lot of cute things.

From her friends, A Hello Kitty bank you paint yourself, a game, Strawberry shortcake doll, mini Rapunzel doll, Princess jewelry, a huge princess puzzle. From Alli and Paul she got a Lalaloopsy doll, Mel and Phil gave her a Rapunzel dress and shoes, Grandpa and Cocoa gave her a Rapunzel Barbie doll. Thanks to everyone for the fun gifts! She had lots of fun opening presents then we had cake and icecream


and played in the bounce house. Thanks Grandma for letting us borrow it! Lots of fun!After this fun little party everyone went home and Cory and I spent some time with just the kids. Cooper kept trying to get in this Barbie jeep and would get so mad that he couldn't fit. I love this picture!
We made breakfast for dinner like Cayman wanted and then we got ready for her little family party. We had the Cottrell side over for Cake and ice cream and we opened presents.
Cayman was so excited to see Cohen and we had fun playing and visiting.
She got barbie clothes from the Jackmans, A Rapunzel doll from Cj and Jackie, and Grandma Connie got her a beautiful dress and shoes. From us she got a Belle Barbie doll, Belle dress, Ken doll, book, Magnet dolls, Zhu Zhu pet hamster, Beauty and the Beast Dvd, and Ariel pajamas.
She was spoiled by everyone! Thanks for her great gifts!! We turned on the bubble machine again and the kids played and danced in the bubbles.
I love this picture of Cayman and Cohen playing barbie dolls. So cute!
Cayman had such a great birthday and it was made possible by all the love from our families and friends. She has such a big heart and is more than willing to share her love around with everyone! What a great day and here is to another year!
