GIGI TURNS 5 AND WE CELEBRATED A LOT!

On Gigi's actual birthday, Andrea had us over for a celebration.  As always her decorations were adorable.  Dinner was carry-out from Buca De Beppo and Dairy Queen ice cream cake.  One word, AMAZING!

 But trying to get these three together and everyone look at the camera at one time... Impossible.  But still adorable. 

 Gigi wanted to read to Lainey and she loved it.  It was so cute to watch Lainey watch Gigi and Gigi loved reading to her.  

 Then it was time to sing Happy Birthday.  Gigi said that was her favorite part.  How cute is this? 

 Then presents.  Gigi had a little help. 

 Gigi opened my present next.  Can you see that look when she realized what it was?  

 Her American Girl, Caroline. 

 This beautiful chunky little girl had grown to be a beautiful, funny, caring and bright light in this world.   I love you Gigi!  Happy Birthday.

Day 4 - Key West

 Our last excursion was to Key West.  We had booked a tour on the Conch Train.  And I was very excited to eat at Margaritaville.  So we went there and were very disappointed with the food.  Atmosphere was great though.  Hopefully it was just an off day. 

 Loved this very large statue outside the Toy Factory.

 We had to have Key Lime Pie in Key West and it did NOT disappoint.

 Our last night at dinner and Mom and I with our sweet waiter.

 A couple of nights Mom and I enjoyed the singing at the Piano Bar.  

 Everyone loves the towel animals that are cheerily left in your room. 

 I know these pictures are out of order but these are some pictures from our Conch Train tour.  This is the southernmost point of the United States. 

This is the finale of the variety show on the ship called "Boogie Wonderland"  All the chef's, captains, and behind the scenes people came in for us to meet.  It was such a fun cruise.  I loved every minute.  

Day 3 - Cocy Cay

 The third day of our cruise took us to Coco Cay Island.  It is a secluded island that is owned by Royal Caribbean.  On the previous two cruises we took the weather was to bad to stop here.  This has to be the most beautiful place I have ever been.  

 The band played island music.  The crew from the ship came with us and prepared lunch.  I will have to say the food wasn't as good as the lunches on the ship but with the atmosphere made it perfect.
