We decided just to do a small get together with family after last year's disaster. Next year, she thinks she wants a pool party (at the local community center). We'll see my dear. We shall see.
Today, Erin turned NINE years old. NINE years old! She has dropped her obsession with cats and has taken up being a Potterhead. She loves anything and everything Harry Potter and her favorite character is Ginny Weasley.

| Her birthday cake. It was a strawberry cake, with strawberry creme filling and hot pink vanilla frosting covered in pink rock sugar. |
I know, I know. I've been slacking severely this year. I just haven't really been in a blogging mood, especially since hardly anyone reads this.( I know you go Grandma.) However, after talking to Eric about it, I will be blogging more. It's something I want the kids to be able to look back on when they are older and see for themselves what they did growing up. That is a reason for blogging.
So, here's Alvin birthday post!

Dear Alvin,
Once again, I'm in sheer astonishment at how you are now. Five years ago, today, you were born. It was a Tuesday also. You were born at 4:53pm. You were 7lbs, 2oz in weight and were 20 inches long. Pretty impressive for being nearly a month early. Today, you weigh 34 lbs,5 ozs and you are 39 inches tall. You are now in your second year of preschool and you are loving every minute of it. You've come a long way baby boy. Your Daddy and I love you so very much.
Mommy
Yeah, I know her actual birthday was a week ago, but today was her party! We invited 12 girls, but only 4 actually came. I was disappointed, since it was Erin's first ever birthday party. However, it worked out well because Erin wasnt overwhelmed with kids. She wanted a pink Hello Kitty party, and boy did she ever get one!
This afternoon was Alvin's birthday party. It's never a huge affair. Just relatives and decorations. He still has an awesome time. Today, he passed out about 10 mins after everyone left. He had a GREAT day! The theme was Disney's Cars! One of his favorite things.
