Presence not Presents.

We have always been a birthday partying lot. When Kaity and Joshua were younger we'd have a party at our house, one in central Illinois w/my side of the family, and then another in central Wisconsin with Jeremys side of the family. At one point Kaity thought she went from 2 to 5 in the course of a few weeks! As the Schilldren have grown so have our party tastes. So much planning, plotting, creating, and cooking started to make June (for Kaity) and October (for Joshua) seem weeks apart! Last year we started 'even party' & 'odd day out'. This year is Kaity's "Odd Day Out" and she's picked a doozie! If you would like to come and join us for any part of her day of celebratin' you are more than welcome. Her actual birthday and opening day for Toy Story 3 is this Friday June 18th!

Itinerary:
11:30 Glow in the Dark Golf @ Hawthorne Center in Vernon Hills (military only $4 and you can play LOTS of holes!)

2pm Lunch at Olive Garden in Vernon Hills (complete with singing!!)

5:30 (or closest time to 530 w/3-d) Toy Story 3 @ Kerasotes Showplace 8 (behind On the Border)

She is turning 9 and would love to have you come and celebrate with us!! No presents required only your presence :)

Diary
Books (She likes the author Liz Kessler (or anybody similar) but has the entire emily windsnap series already)
nail polish
bracelets

Sounds like you have a wonderful day planned!! I wish I could join in the festivities!!

Just an FYI, you should call and speak the the general manager of your Olive Garden to verify that they sing. Noah asked to go to OG for his bday and I asked several times if they would sing and they said yes but never did. So I wrote a letter to OG (for that and other things that happened during our meal) and in my response letter, they told me that they have done away with the practice of singing Happy Birthday because it deters from the atmosphere for the other guests. It is pretty asinine if you ask me but just double check so no part of your awesome is ruined!!
