The fact that it was Sunday was a real bummer for Kars, it meant she had to wait until after church to open her gifts. We let her open the ones from her grandparents and she was thrilled with her dinero from Grandpa & Grandma Smith and a horse blanket with the movie Secretariat from Grampa Wayne and Gramma Cheryl...she wrapped right up in the blanket and was asking to have a little movie morning.
Later that afternoon she opened to rest of her gifts and it was horses galore....stable with corral and several horses, a jockey named Eva, an Eyewitness Book about Horses, horse PJ bottoms, and much to my chagrin ...Emmrey picked out a stuffed horse. She also got a NY Yankees cap since she has been obsessed with the Great Bambino.
The girls ALL played together with the horses and stable (this does not happen all that often, so we cherish it when it does:) They had fun naming them all and getting them set up in their new homes. Bailee only lasted a while, but Kars and Emm played most of the afternoon.
We had hoped to take Karsyn on a trail ride or to visit the Wild Mustangs east of Cody, however the weather had other plans. Since it rained most of the day, she settled for wrapping up in her blanket and watching Secretariat, such a good movie. Her dinner request was a dish from a local BBQ place, so I decided to bring it to her instead. I made BBQ beef sandwiches, beans and fries. We also drank Rootbeer from canning jars...Kars thought this was the BEST!!
We made her a horseshoe cake for Lucky #9 served with good old fashioned vanilla ice cream. She made her birthday wish, however, that remains top secret;)
We hope it was a special day for our very special little girl who has made everyday of the last 9 years an adventure:) We love you Eva Lu!!!
Yee haw!! Looks like an awesome day! Love the dinner, and the cake! I had no idea she loved horses that much, that is really cool. Looks like you made it a very special day for her.
