Selah turned 9 while we were in Colorado. We decorated the RV so that when she woke up on the morning of her birthday it was all decorated.
She opened presents.
And we had birthday muffins. I forgot about baking in a high altitude, so they came out very flat - but still tasty!
Selah decided she wanted to go to the North Pole for her birthday. Did you know that the North Pole is actually in Colorado - not the Artic?
The North Pole - Santa's Workshop is a Christmas themed amusement park and so much fun!
You can see this slide from the Pass.
Even with Faith's broken elbow, there were rides she could ride.
In the center of the park is a pole that stays frozen year round.
We also were able to watch a glass blowing demonstration and I came home with a few beautiful and dainty ornaments for our tree.
At 7,500 feet in altitude, The Ferris Wheel at Santa's Workshop is the World's highest Ferris wheel in elevation. Unfortunately, there was a little thunder while we were at the park and they closed it right as we were in line.
Of course, you can't visit the North Pole without seeing Santa!! Gabe asked him for a mandolin, Mig asked for a cello, Faith asked for a new doll and Selah asked for a Beauty and the Beast figurine.
The next day we got a visit from my Uncle Mike!
We waited to have birthday cake until Uncle Mike could be there - so we got to celebrate Selah even more!
Sweet girl! I hope it was a birthday to remember!
