Happy Birthday Gigi!

This weekend we celebrated a milestone birthday for Gigi (I won't write out the number for her, but it does end in a "0"!) We got to spend lots of time with her - starting with Jillian and I taking her lunch to her class on her birthday while Meredith was at school. Then, she joined us for dinner after Meredith's dance class that night. Meredith had decided that we HAD to get Gigi a lunch box, so she picked one out for her - I am not sure why she decided she needed one, but Gigi said she actually didn't have one but does take her lunch all the time, so she did great picking!

Then, since this was a major birthday, we tried to do something a little special for her. She did not want a party at all, so instead, Aunt Katie suggested we plan a grown-ups only dinner. We started out with just the girls taking Gigi to a store that we all love for a little shopping and then we went to a great Mexican restaurant and had a blast - Aunt Sandy came up to surprise mom and then we all headed to her house for cake.

Then tonight, we went to Gigi's for a cookout and of course included the kiddos this time. Meredith and I made a cake for Gigi, too. I wanted to make a flip-flop cake, but Meredith insisted it have kitties too. So Meredith made the kitties and we made it work!

The kitty/flip-flop cake!

Meredith also made Gigi a party hat

Happy Birthday Gigi! We love you!
