Our daughter’s birthday counter incremented this weekend. Celebrations started with an early soccer game on Saturday. If AYSO was in the score keeping business, then this would have been recorded as a victory for the Purple Butterflies. Following the game I had to rush her to the Treehouse Museum where Girl Plankton was already busy setting up the Pirate Party. Note the absence of Ninjas.

The family stuff started this morning. We had a really good breakfast and waited until 11:13 A.M. to let her begin opening presents. She got a new bike from us, and horseback riding lessons from her grandparents. Afterwards we took a drive to the local farm where the lessons will take place this summer. Then we went to her favorite restaurant and they sang that obnoxious birthday cadence they do there and she got this huge ice cream dessert.

Now we’re just sitting around at home wishing that the wind would blow a little bit so that we could go fly her new kite.
