Happy 5th Birthday

I can hardly believe it! My middle baby is 5 now. I seriously cannot believe that it has been 5 years since we were in the hospital with her. 5 years since we met up with one of our friends who was pregnant along with me about 4 hours from each of our houses. 5 years since we met up in the hospital with a cousin/neighbor across the street who was due a few weeks after me. (Yes, my daughter has a cousin who lives across the street that is one day younger than her. They are great friends!) 5 years since I held this little precious bundle of cuteness.

Well, it seems to us that she is getting jipped on a few things around here. She gets the hand-me-downs, the leftovers, the stuff not new out of the box. This year we really wanted to make her birthday special so we gave her some new never been done things.

First we taped crepe paper in a zig-zag pattern along the outside of her door. Then we filled it with balloons. In the morning I heard all the balloons fall to the floor and came to her room to see a brilliant smile stretched across that gorgeous face of hers.

I also wrote a birthday message with a bar of soap. A word the the wise, don't get it too wet or you will have drips like i did on the H and A.

A few days after her birthday, we had my hubby's parents out to celebrate. We even got to go out to eat!

She got a kid camera so hopefully she will stop taking 100s of pics with Mom's and Dad's phone cameras. =)
