2011 Catch - Up: Raleigh's 9th Birthday

Raleigh's biggest wish for her birthday was to wake up in the morning and come down the stairs to a party all ready and waiting for her.

We made her stay upstairs until about 10 am when we were finally finished making the pancakes from scratch, etc., etc.! She wanted a "rock climbing" theme for her party, so we turned it into a "Raleigh Rocks" party. We even played games with rocks. A little bit goes a long way, and she loved it.

Here is the party in pictures:























We had her cake later in the day, and Grandpa Bear showed up without even knowing it was her birthday! He came right in time for yumminess.



She loved her new bike and her new boots! And we sure love Raleigh. She spices up our lives with her creative energy and pizazz and her fun sense of humor. We love receiving her special notes and watching her grow. She has a great and active mind, and she'll do much good in the world. Happy Birthday, Raleigh!

  1. Raleigh is SO adorable (and so is your house, I love it)! I think it is hilarious that she wanted a rock climbing party!! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Wish we could've been there.

    Ps. I have decided I have the cutest nieces ever! You and Dal look GREAT too!
