Happy Birthday Natasha

Natasha's birthday was this past Monday but we postponed celebrations until Adam (daddy) was home. She had kindergarden on Friday but we decided we would have her gift ready for when she came off the bus. It was a busy day as we had to get into Edmonton to pick it up and make it back in time to have it ready. The first thing she asked off the bus is if we had her present. I asked her to look around to see if she could spot it. Soon enough she did and there was no waiting....












Once she realized what it was, the poor thing started crying and ran to her daddy. She must have hugged him for about 30 seconds and cried into his neck. Then she came over to me and cried on my shoulder. She told me "Mama I am crying happy tears." She quickly wanted to get on and get going. She has very strict rules, that not obeyed, will result in the quad getting parked for days. The quad is also governed down for speed so she can't go very fast at all. This is not a typical birthday gift in our household. The price was really right and the hope is it will last through at least one more child. Also she is not allowed to have passengers, EVER, but Ashley wanted to sit with her on the quad for a picture. Yesterday (Sat) she went out in the cleared fields surrounding our land. She looks so funny! Her thumb gets sore so she is only able to go for a little bit before she needs a break.

Ashley wanted a quad but we told her she was to little, so think of something special she wanted to her upcoming birthday. Her response "Candy." Done and Done.





Every year I let the girls pick out their cake. This year Natasha wanted a candy cake (my kids and their sweet SWEET tooths). The result was sour gummy worms around the top and base of the cake and nerds sprinkled on top. SHE (and Ashley) LOVED IT!!! Adam and I however could barely swallow pne piece down.
