Karen's Birthday Celebration

 My sister's official birthday was Tuesday so we went to Seattle this weekend to celebrate!
 We visited the Seattle Aquarium. A highlight was watching the feeding of the Giant Pacific Octopus.


We loved having grandma D help us celebrate!
 We also visited Pike Place Market and got to see Uncle Kevin and Auntie Teddy's Seattle Hat Shop for the first time! They've done a great job.
 What a fun place!
 We also went to a short indoor track & field meet at UW. It's neat to see Papa strategizing with his college coach (Pee Wee Halsell - still the head coach at WWU and in the same conference as Saint Martin's).
 On Sunday, Karen opened gifts throughout the day. Here she is picking out her first gift (from grandpa Mike and grandma Donna)!

 This is what big brothers are for...I helped Karen open many of her gifts!

 Karen loved using her party blower over and over!
 After dinner and our bath, Karen successfully blew out the 2 candles on her cake. She requested a "horsey cake"!
We loved every bite of the German Chocolate Cake mommy made! Happy birthday, sis!
