Caroline's Birthday

On Saturday, April 21st, sweet little Caroline turned 3 years old! Isn't she cute? We celebrated her birthday "Backyardigan's" style by having a party for her in the "Backyard." Uniqua even made an appearance on Caroline's birthday cake! Grandpa and Grandma Darowski were also able to be there which made Caroline's party even more fun. Sweet Caroline!Uniqua Birthday Cake!

Caroline had a lot of fun in the backyard with Henry. For most of her party she and her brother entertained the adults with their tackling, racing, and overall sillyness. Caroline is always figuring out ways to act silly and most of the time it involves her brother. They get along very well, but it is surprising to see how much she gets in his business and tries to tease him. She is definately not afraid of contact. And to be honest with you- if she gets hurt- well, she usually deserves it.

For Caroline's birthday she was given a pink "Plasma Cart." It is propelled by turning the steering wheel back and forth. As you can see Caroline had great fun driving it up and down our newly gated driveway. Henry got one too- so now they can have races. Henry wants to set up a "Mario Cart Course" in the backyard. If you know Henry well- you will really appreciate this- he also wants to put real banana peels back there to make the course more challenging.
Another special part of Caroline's birthday was having her new little sister Samantha there. Samantha was passed around all evening and didn't cry once. Here is Grandma Kay giving her a little love.

Will you tell Henry sorry that we didn't actually set up the Mario Kart course in the backyard like we intended. I had high hopes and really wanted to set up banana peels and turtle shells to make little Henry's dreams come true. The trip was too short.
