I can't believe my baby girl is 5 years old. It is so true that time just flies by. She is becoming so grown up and mature. She is such a blessing! She is always surprising me by things she says and thinks about, but she has been surprising me since day one. I think she was busting at the seams to get out and "talk" since she decided to show up 6 weeks early and a bonus is that she totally ruined Mommy's plans of 6wks off of work to do whatever I wanted. :0)Last night she was very excited that she was going to be 5 today. She said, "I will get to do so much more now." I'm not sure what that "more" is, but it is a big deal to her.
Today is going to be so fun! We are hanging out in the morning, then she will go to Preschool. She gets to be the "queen" today. She will make a crown and wear it for the whole class. It is her snack day, so we made ice cream cone cupcakes with Strawberry Shortcake rings for the girls and Batman rings for the boys. So cute! I'm going to surprise her and bring balloons and flowers for her during snack time. Then right after Preschool she is going to her friends birthday party at a bounce house. She is very excited to share her birthday with Samena. After the birthday party we plan to take her to Red Robin for dinner and ice cream. One full day!
Elissa wore out (as you see below) the cover of her anywhere chair we got her when she was One, so we got her a new cover this year. She also wanted a doll that she could brush its hair and make it sit and stand, so this is what I came up with. The cheap version of an American Girl Doll.
Elissa's much loved and worn out chair.

I love the 5 year old year. Wish I could have frozen Madison there and not let her keep going!! Enjoy all the birthday celebrations!
Happy birthday Lissy! Can't wait for the party tomorrow - could you ask for a better day for it??
