Gotcha Weekend 2012

6 years later...and it truly feels like yesterday! It was the perfect excuse for our little girl to chose to do one of her MOST favorite things in the whole world...yep, camping! So, her wish was our command! 3 days and 2 nights of continuous celebrating was perfect for her!

Her poppy and grandma joined us, which was a real treat for her. It made her very happy! Then, as we were eating breakfast the 1st morning, her uncle E-Ron/family surprised her! They drove up and totally caught her off guard! She ran as quick as she could into uncle's arms...it was really sweet. She had a request to also go fishing and boy did she hope she would catch a fish, but no luck on that request! But, fishing was fun.

She had all of us in the palm of her hand! We played the games she wanted and we all surprised her special gifts. Grandma/Popppy bought her a special "granddaughter" bracelet and maraschino cherries! We got her 6 mini gifts (cuz our tradition is that she'll get to buy something on her actual Gotcha Day), but we got her 3 cool bandanas, an eye mask, a feather for her hair, and rhinestone/pink flip flops! The cousins got her an outdoor hydration backpack and that she wore all afternoon, after we got home and unloaded the RV, a hit!

The Princess game and SHE conveniently won!

A toast and cheers to her request of "homemade chocolate chip cookies!"

Boy do their little manos get dirty!

A fresh, new box of LUCKY CHARMS, another of her favorites!

Poppy made us bacon for breakfast, another of her favorites!

Gift time!

Instructions on how to strap on her new hydrator backpack!
