Savannah's Birthday Celebration!

by Amy

So they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few thousand words, and then some, for ya!

As you may remember from a previous post, Savannah threw up on the morning of her birthday. Therefore, we delayed celebrating...mostly. She was still able to open some gifts...


Here she's opening a DVD, Cinderella III from Peter. Then, she sat on the couch, on a blanket, with her brothers and watched her new movie.

Then, after a long afternoon nap, and keeping down some crackers and jello several times, we decided Savannah could eat a little of her birthday cake.

Clearly, her brothers were pretty excited about that decision!

So, after eatting some butterfly cake, and keeping it down, she opened up her last few gifts.

This little doll is from her Brad. Savannah decided to name her Jessica after Mrs. Bonura who is Savannah's birthday buddy!

Then, several days later, we woke up and got ready to head to a local lake. It's a really beautiful spot in our city. We had been once before, so Savannah asked if we could go back for her birthday. The weather could not have been better! Well, I guess it could have been cooler, but for a July day in this city, often refered to as an oven city, it was great. There was a nice breeze and even pretty clear blue skies.

Here Savannah is hugging her favorite baby, Amanda, as we wait to head to the lake.
Is she cute or what?!?!

Here are a few lake pics for your viewing enjoyment!

The main thing Savannah wanted to do at the lake was ride a boat, so that what we did!
This lake park also has several carnival rides, so we told Savannah she could pick two for our family to enjoy. She picked the farris wheel and a carrousel.

After the fun park adventure, we came home and enjoyed a box of Kraft Mac'n Cheese (a rarity in our world) and some watermelon. Then, after naps, we walked to one of Savannah's favorite local restaurants. It's called Histro-Ring Pizza Book Store (in English.) It's a combo pizza restaurant and book store. After spending a bit of time trying to communicate we do not want spicy chili sauce on our pizza, Brad ordered for us and we had a delightful dinner! We topped it off with the last of the butterfly cake and ice cream. All and all, I'd say Savannah felt loved and celebrated, even though it was a few days later than originally planned!
