We woke up Thursday morning to a "Heart Attack" on our lawn. The activity day girls in our ward had written birthday messages to Kiley on little hearts and stuck them in our lawn with plastic forks. It was very cute.
Then she was off to the Red Cross babysitting course, which just happened to be on her birtdhay, giving us time to make some last minute prepartations for her party while she was gone.
Jason got off work early to take her to ice cream and to pick out a movie while her friends were secretly showing up at our house and helping me hang streamers and put out the food.
When she got home it was a big...
SURPRISE!
The next surprise came when a HUGE package was delivered by UPS that evening. Kiley was pretty curious and excited to rip it open...
She was thrilled to see that her aunts/uncles/cousins and grandpa and grandma Wallace had got her a HUGE Giraffe for her room.
I believe she named him "Mancala?" and he matches her room beautifully. The perfect addition, so thank you, Wallaces!
The girls watched movies and played American Idol on the Wii, and most of them were still awake when Jason and I woke up at 6:00 am. Needless to say, it took Kiley the entire weekend to get back on track with her sleep. I guess it was their one last chance before school starts on Tuesday. Well it is time for me to join my fam for a movie tonight. They are waiting impatiently. I will write more later, but it was a fun and eventful weekend. Thank you for all your kind phone calls to her and gifts. She had a special birthday and loves you guys.

How awesome! I can't believe she is that old already! Wasn't she just born yesterday!?! We have kids!!!!!! That is a scary thought sometimes. She looks just like you too. I am feeling sad that we aren't young still, we had such a fun childhood. I miss you!
GREAT Giraffe! I-LIKE-IT-A-LOT!
What a fun party and I love the idea of the heart attack....too cute. I have never seen a room done in giraffes, but I totally love it.
I forgot to tell you that I love Ky's hair. It looks way cute! Tell her I love the way she did it.
