Thank heavens the "birthday week" is over - Caitlin invoked that phrase for everything for the whole week. For years, Caitlin has wanted to go to a movie for her birthday, but there is rarely a movie out that she would want to go to. This year, we got lucky (of course, that opinion is subjective) - the Smurf movie came out right before the big day. So it became the "Happy Smurfday Party."
Each partygoer had to determine their "Smurf" name (there are "Smurf" name generators online - putting the iPad to good use) and have their photo taken.
After a series of "Smurf challenges" in which they earned every manner of "blue" treats, they received their Smurf badges to wear to the movie.
The movie wasn't too bad - I don't know if the 3D was worth it, but the kids liked it and none of the hoodlums in my charge attempted to steal the glasses (they were glad they didn't since the alarms went off if you tried to leave the theatre with them - we saw some very embarrassed chitlins fishing the glasses out of their pockets).
The birthday week continued with dinner at one of Catie's favorite restaurants (the one that Austin works at). Here is Mom averting her eyes in an attempt to keep them open for the picture ("look away!").
That's all I had pictures of. I'm sure this won't surprise you, but she's already planning for next year...
