Hip Hip Hooray, it's Cami's 5th Birthday!

 On January 15 this year, our littlest baby bear turned 5.  A whole hand!  

Who can even believe that?  

Five years ago...

Lila and Jackson could not wait to lay eyes on her...

and neither could Maddie!

Cameron Nicole entered this world with great fanfare...

and has only gained more fans along the way!  Her daddy brought home donuts after taking Lila to school.  Happy, happy birthday girl.

She loved her birthday banner, too.

She decided to spend the day with me and had a few ideas in mind.  First, she picked out her outfit and even let me spice it up with a scarf from Lila's closet.  So cute.

Then we remembered that I have a matching one, so I wore it proudly.

We had a lovely, fancy lunch at the Chocolate Angel...

and then walked next door for our manicures. 
The ladies in the salon could not get enough of Cami!

After dinner, it was finally time to open her gifts!  She had been so intrigued with the tall present all day long...

and was giddy with excitement when she opened up the ukulele!

We ended the evening with some singing and then the birthday girl made a wish.  (She was NOT thrilled that her brother blew out a candle for her!)

The next morning, the Superheroes had their very last game of the indoor season.

Cami scored 4 or 5 goals!  She has improved SO much over the past few seasons.

Right after her game was over, Jackson's basketball game was beginning.  It was a Murphy Middle School showdown, with kids on both teams.  The boys had made such a big deal about it that their principal, vice principal, P.E. Coach, Math teacher, English teacher and another teacher all came to watch.  Wow!  The Mavericks won big time and Jackson was stoked about their huge fanclub that day.

A couple hours later, we had picked up the cookie cake...

and arrived at Obstacle Warrior Kids.

Colby and Nash were some of the first to arrive...

And then Jules and Hadlie got there.

Pretty sure our little ninja was way happy!

She jumped and got this close to holding onto the bar.

Big sister made it all way to the cargo net!

Like her shirt said, she continued with her "best day ever,"

and after five failed attempts to reach the top of the warp wall...

She made it!

This little goofball played with all of her friends, including Sami, 

and Callum, one of her BFFs from school.

They loved trying their best at some toe touches...

so funny!

Dodgeball was next, 

followed by pizza and then cookie cake!

The kids didn't hang around in the party room for very long.

There were so many other great things to be doing instead!

Yeehaw!

It really was such a wonderful time for all ages, the tall and the small.

And the best part was seeing my little ninja smiling the entire time.

Cami is so thankful that all her best friends could be there--such a good group of kids!

We gave out the popcorn party favors and said goodbye.

That evening she opened all her gifts...

and then got even more after her aunt, uncles, cousin, and grandparents arrived!

We had one more round of Happy Birthday at the restaurant and the celebrations were finally complete.

Miss Cameron Nicole, we simply adore you.  You are one of a kind and we are so glad you're ours!
