	Party!
	Nicoles party was held on Saturday, February 13. This year we went to Planet Pizza. It's a pizza place that has an indoor amusement park with small versions of a roller coaster, bumper cars, spinning rides, etc. We had a wonderful time. The kids got to ride the rides for an hour. Nicole was afraid to go on the roller coaster, bumper cars and pirate ship that swings. But she did enjoy the tea cup ride, the airplanes and playing in the tubes. Then we enjoyed the cake Tina made. She shaped it like Flounder from Disney's "The Little Mermaid". It was really cute and everyone was amazed by how good it looked right down to the blue and yellow icing. The restaurant helped set up the party area and helped with the gifts and everything. They sat Nicole up on the table to open the gifts which was a great idea. Everyone could see really well. Tina made cup cakes for Nicole to take to school on Tuesday 2/16. They were really cute with blue frosting, a Flounder candy on top, pretzels that were iced with green to look like seaweed and icing sea shells. Tina really is creative. We opened the family presents Tuesday night (her birthday was actually on Wednesday) because on Wednesdays Nicole has Pioneer club.
