Colette Turns 9!

My oldest is 9 years old! I can hardly believe it! Birthday Pancakes and Butterscotch Beer celebrated our sweet girl for breakfast!
We decided to skip a standard birthday party this year (though we did blow out candles on an ice cream cake Sunday at G&G Gallacher's), and we did something incredibly fun on Colette's Birthday.

We had a Mother-Daughter ditch day! Colette and I took Kallin to school, took Corinne to play at a friends, and we went all by ourselves! We went to Target and spent some birthday money, we went to the mall, and spent more birthday money (when you decide to skip a "party" you have more birthday money), we had a BLAST! Then we were supposed to go to get a pedicure, but Colette decided she'd rather have a cool Build-a-Bear Monkey, so we got that instead. Then we met Dad for lunch at Colette's Choice (Joe's Crab Shack). We ate, we talked, we had a great time! Colette opened her birthday cards, and we sang to her as she rounded the deck on her 'horse'. It was awesome!
Then we went back to the mall for a few other things!
I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed getting to be with this girl for an entire day! We chatted and hung out, and it was a blast!

Then, we all went to Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2! 
All of us! On MONDAY! How fun is that??!?!?!?!

Happy birthday Coco, I'm so very proud of you, the beautiful girl you are on the outside and the inside, too! I love to be your mother, and you are my best friend! You are growing so quickly, and into this marvelous girl, who I just love! Thank you for being you, and for being my little Coco!
