A 5 to remember Part Two

Mommy was thinking ahead and picturing the below situation in my head- Big Boy wanting to blow the candles out. I saw this coming and thought I would be tricky and buy...trick candles! Oh, how funny it would be. I thought.



So we sang, and she blew, and those suckers kept relighting.

And relighting...



Now, there is no picture to put here- everyone was flipping out. But it is on videotape. Sissy was blowing and blowing on those candles. She blew so hard that- she passed out. I am not kidding you. Eyes rolled back in head and just fell over. I grabbed her and immediately started asking her what was wrong- and she was limp. I picked her up and carried her into the family room for some fresh air and she came to and said, "What mommy? What about my cake?"



AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Heart attack!



So here she is 5 minutes later, perfectly fine, airways restored. That will be the last time we have trick candles in our household!



She was going strong then and able to eat cake and ice cream and open presents.



Everyone was very generous to her, as usual, and she got a jewelry kit, tickets to Disney On Ice, new ballerina Barbies, a game, clothes, lots of toys, a heart-shaped princess pillow, a new nightstand, a new lamp, and more! With the addition of the nightstand we finally took off her bedrail so now she is officially big.

She had such a great birthday and played well into the night with her new mini Lalaloopsies and doll furniture.




The videotape, which I hear is funny although it still scares the crap out of me, will be sent into America's Funniest Home Videos- per my husband.
