We can’t have a family blog and not mention a special day in the life of our eldest daughter.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAITLIN. We can’t believe you’re 15 already! (Seems like only yesterday………………)
We had big plans to celebrate by going to Hershey Park (well known for it’s amazing rollercoaster rides among other entertaining activities to do.) But as things turned out, we had to postpone that trip until Monday. Instead Kaitlin spent most of the morning (Australia’s evening) speaking to her very special friend, Georgia, on Skype (now what a great tool that is!)
Kaitlin (15 yrs) and Akaisha (5 months)
After celebrating with cake (at the insistent urging of her youger brothers), Kaitlin then spent the afternoon doing what she loves most…shopping with all of her birthday money (courtesy of her family back in Australia and her family here in America). Pretty cool to think that much of the fashion in the shops hasn’t made it’s way to Australia yet.
The whole gang celebrating
So hopefully this will be a birthday to remember in the USA. One more coming up in August and that will be Kit (a good 9 years younger, but just as special). Let’s hope his cake is as yummy as Kaitlin’s!
