Kennedy's European Experience: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMIE!!! :)

9 June - Hard to believe but Jamie is now the big 11........and it was a BUSY day for her. First, she had her awards day/Elementary school graduation at school -(next post). Then she had a Birthday party at School. When she got home from her swim practice, she had her favorite meal - Alaskan King crab legs and dump cake (#2). She received calls from Grandparents, Aunt Michelle, Tina's family and Michael and his family. Every phone call was Happy birthday in a foreign language!! She opened gifts from everyone.

From her parents - Trip to Spain for swim camp, Vera Bradley bag, and an appointment to get her nails done.

Michael sent her a purple pen bag, a purple diary book, purple pen and tan cat statue. Yep, I said it CAT.

Great Aunt Kay, visiting for two weeks, gave her a charm, dolls from Peru and Argentina, and money from seveal foreign countries in South America.

Her friend Megan gave her really cook oven mits because they are going to a cooking camp this summer. They cook alot when Megan visits......I like Megan visits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her other friend, Emily, gave her a gift certificate and a chocolate bar - an inside joke with Emily :)

On Wednesday, Jamie's German Tutor, Lena Sophie made her a small blackberry tort (cake #3) that was PURPLE and a really two nice t-shirts that were, yep, you saw it coming - purple!!!!

Ahyoung's, Tina's, and Grandparent's gifts are in the mail and Jamie is EXCITED. My guess is something - PURPLE....................................yeah.

For her party (11 June) , Jamie had it on Thursday. She and her little friends went to the Ramstein pool for 3 hours. One of her friends spent the night. They cooked pizzas and put up the tent.

For her 4th Birthday cake, Kim cooked what is fast becoming a tradition - Chocolate Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese icing!!!

They slept outside in the tent and then made Monkey Bread for breakfast. basically cut-up can biscuits, sugar, cinnamon with caramel sauce on top and baked.
