5 Years Old

S turned 5!!!  She wanted fruit loops for breakfast (oops I bought the 25% less sugar kind, dang it!) Auntie April took us out to Spaghetti Factory for lunch.  Then for her Birthday dinner she wanted costco pizza. Could I have had an easier day?  

It was a big treat that Grandma and Pa were here for her day, but even better when all her cousins, Aunts and Uncles (within range) showed up for a little party later that night.  

S keeps getting better with age.  She is going to be such a great big sister to this baby because she practices all day with her babies.  She also is the spunkiest (is that a word) kid I know.  Yesterday while twirling and singing she nailed the door knob really hard, but laughed it off.  She can really crack me up, and make me cry.  Today she had to get 4 shots (yeah happy Birthday) and she was trying to be so brave wiping away the tears of anticipation about getting poked. It was so sweet it just broke my heart.  When they took forever getting back to us for the shots I almost picked her up and ran out of there.  After her Dr's appointment to cheer her up we went and got her hair cut, she loves that, and it worked.  These are pre-hair cut pictures.
