Can we say that someone is very proud and exited to be 5 years old!
Yes, our sweet little girl is 5 years old today. She is full of life. It doesn't matter if she is working on a project, practicing her school work (because you know she's going to be starting school this year - just ask her ;) ) or being outdoors - she is always giving it her very best.
She was surprised this morning with opening her big gift from both grandparents and Momma and Papa - a bike! A little adjusting with the length of training wheels and handle bar position and she was off...
maybe a little to quick for my heart.
As I took this photo with my phone, I couldn't help but tear up a bit. My babies riding away from me... each day a new level of independence is gained, which should be a celebration and is... however, this Momma's heart just wants to hold on a little bit longer.
After a fun morning of riding her bike, we had a special lunch at her request... Carl's Jr. (Gag, blah.. who's child is she? ha,ha,ha) Papa and I could recall one other time we had been to Carl's Jr, and for Sister to be so confident that is what she wanted for lunch. Papa and I just laughed. After lunch, we burned some more of that 5 year old energy off at one of our local parks...
You'd think our day was done, but we invited a few friends over for a taco dinner, birthday cake and presents of course.
(Taco dinner in the lawn of course!)
(Sister made the 5 and then supervised Momma's position of the other decorations)
The grand finale for the evening...
holding a real baby! She's held this little guy many of times, but just loves it every time!
I'd say this sweet girl had a wonderful day of turning 5!
(She was asleep before her brother - which almost never happens! HA!)
