The Final Birthday!

So Kali is the last to have a birthday!

We've had a birthday

every other week since our

return from Christmas break.

I swear all we have done

is blow up balloons and eat

birthday cake!

Whatever will we do now!? haha

On the eve of her birthday

at midnight we "surprised"

(of course she knew it was coming)

her with monkey bread,

poppers, and confetti!

The night before,

we blew up balloons

while Kali was gone.

Which, I might add, were hard to hide!

There were 159 of them!!

We made a "curtain/cocoon" in her room.

Practically her entire half

of the room was filled with balloons.

Here's a pic of the cocoon at the front door.

We taped yarn to the end of the

cocoon, so when she came back

from water aerobics that morning,

the balloons fell out on her when she opened

the front door.

Then, that afternoon,

Kali, Nicole, Julia, Lauren, Allie, and I

all went to Coldstone. Yum!

So, we had this idea

(before everything else)

and we just needed a box,

big enough for a person.

We didn't have one

and we didn't think about

it anymore, until that night

when Kali said "There's only one thing

that could complete today, and that

would be if I had a MAN!"

Soooo, Nicole and I went to Lowe's!

We got a HUGE piece of cardboard.

Lauren helped Nicole construct it into

a box. Then, when it was complete,

Kali opened it to find....:

Eric "the MAN!!!" haha

Thanks Eric! You were awesome!

Here's Kali with her room of balloons.

Ya, I think she was happy ;)

She had 5 birthday cakes

of all different kinds.

The candy one, with the 8 ft

note from Natalie had to be my favorite though!

Thanks to everyone (303 girls, Eric, Kali's friends)

for helping us celebrate!

Overall, I think it was a success!

Happy 19th Birthday Kali!

I hope it was a good one.
