That's the song blaring through our house on Cali's birthday!
Yep, she's officially 17!
Her morning started with breakfast burritos made by Gammy!
And she was so happy because it was cold and rainy!!!
Gammy and Papa not only brought over breakfast, but some birthday gifts too!
Later on that morning, after wall got ready for the day, she got to open her gifts from her family...
A "Newsies" journal and hat from Gav...
Canvases and paints from Brody...
Whale jammies from Luke...
Some books from mom and dad...
And her used beach towel with a little "whale" note letting her know that she gets to go swim with Beluga Whales!!!
She was so stoked!
Happy Birthday Angel!
We love you!
Because Dinner was at our house this year, she got to pick what we had. It was a Pasta Fest!
And she got to spend the evening with some of her favorite people...
And got her favorite birthday dessert - Chocolate Silk Pie!
2 days later, I picked up Mia and took the girls to Sea World. Cali's dream of swimming with the Beluga whales was going to come true!
But first, we played!
At 2:00 PM, we checked into the Interaction!!!
Cali got to go back and change, while Mia and I ran into the exhibit and grabbed the best viewing seats! After she got her wetsuit on and got her instructions, they came out to meet "Klondike" and "Ahua"! She had a big smile on her face the entire time! It was so fun to watch!
This was after she just got splashed!
It was the coolest thing ever! She was so happy! I'm so glad we could make this happen for her!
17 is going to be AWESOME!
