Birthday celebration – part 2

Shecklet #3’s birthday party took place a few days after her “official” birthday.  She requested a tornado cake and wanted to go bowling (like her older brothers had done.)  She had also been asking for a Barbie house for quite some time.  Jake and I talked and thought it would be a fun surprise to pass along the house that my parents gave to me when I was a little girl – complete with furniture & accessories.  (My were kind enough to dig it out, dust it off and decorate it for the big surprise.)  The look on her face when we presented her with the house was absolutely priceless.  She gave me a huge hug, which was the sweetest response I could have asked for.  It brought a smile to not only me, but my parents as well.  I am sure she has hours of make-believe play time in store!
