Kallie was so lucky that she got to celebrate her birthday a few different times - once in Utah with Nini and Bebe, once in Vegas with Erickson side and Shelley's family, once on the airplane home to England, and once at home in England. Did I mention we love birthdays?!?!
Utah Birthday
We wanted to do lunch, a movie, and manicure/pedicure - but the movie was totally sold out. So plan B was first do Manicure/pedicures then meet up with the boys at Olive Garden for dinner.
Okay not all the boys - we kept Nick so he could experience manicures/pedicure too.
He loved it.
So did Kallie...
Then a yummy dinner - I won't blog about when Kallie choked on her food and had to throw up. It wasn't very fun for her and scared her so much she cried. It was horrible to watch and not be able to do anything to help her!
Then we added salt to the wound and sang her Happy Birthday. This girl doesn't like the focus on her. She wasn't a fan.
That was hard work...so we headed back to Nini and Bebe's to do her favorite thing...watch a hallmark movie. Oh this girl...
Vegas Birthday
If you ask my kids you know a birthday isn't a birthday without one of Grandma's treasure hunts! This year was extra special because Kallie got to share her treasure hunt with her cousins - and even Ingram cousins who had driven up from Cali to say hi to us! This wild bunch is all ready to go....knowing Grandma will have something crazy planned!
Oh yeah, we are in Vegas baby! Kallie's theme was super hero - and of course every super hero has a cape! I was dying at these cute boys...
And sunglasses and a hat of course :) I actually took over 50 pictures - but they are all pretty much blurry. It was total mayhem during the treasure hunt with kids running every which way. A true sign of crazy fun!
Giving me their best cool guy looks
And with Grandma who made all this fun for these amazing kids!
Once we got all the kids nice and wired it was time to go to bed....well except for the big kids who got to do one last night swim before heading home the next day. Nick (and Zack) broke the rules and joined us.
August 3, 2019 - Flying home to England
For birthday #3, we took Kallie to Europe! Well, home to Europe. Poor girl has had a few years of weird birthdays. Last year in a graveyard...this year in an airplane....next year?! Who knows?!
I had told the flight attendant it was Kallie's birthday - thinking they would just announce it and everyone would clap. NOPE! Not only did she announce her birthday - she led the whole plane in singing her Happy Birthday (which we all know how much she loves), then they gave her a mug full of little treats. It was awesome!
After a long night of traveling we finally made it home! Kallie could do whatever she wanted - so of course she chose to read a book and play with her baby brother.
That night we had a yummy dinner and have another round of cake with our traditional firework candles.
So even though it was not your "typical" birthday, I think she had a great time celebrating a new year of Kallie. We love you Kallie bugs!
