A DAY OF CELEBRATION

Happy Birthday to my five year old.  It was Becca's birthday today and what a day it was.  We started the day off listening to Zoom, her birthday CD-always brings lots of smiles.  Brayden has picked out a super marshmallow cereal for her, lots of sugar making it even better.  I can't believe that she is already five years old, she has grown up so fast and is such a fun girl.  She had to share her day with her siblings but it didn't bother her in the least.  Her selflessness is a trait that she has always had and I am so thankful she is not outgrowing it, as it is so refreshing to see through-out our week.

Five Years Old

Becca got a lot of phone calls today, she loved answering the phone and would answer by saying, "hello this is the birthday girl" 

This is the bunch after dancing to Jingle Bell Rock-they can be so silly.

The morning was pretty busy but we were able to have lunch with Ron at Chick fil A.  What Becca really wanted was to play in the play land but I just couldn't quite give in...even if it was a pretty new restaurant

 

I actually spent some time with Brayden decorating his gingerbread house this morning.  It was fun to see how all the kids decorated their houses.  Many had patterns or candy all in rows outlining the house...not Brayden, he went for the eclectic motif'.  They ended their party with a pizza party that their class won from the walk-a-thon.

If you can believe they still had a lot of candy left over...hard to believe as I see that plate bending!

My Six Year Old, a little under the weather-an endless runny nose that I would like to get rid of, as would he!

It was divide and conquer this morning and while I was with Brayden Ron was watching Andrea at her Ballet Class.  It was parent observation day with a little party at the end of her class.

They had a gift exchange and I guess they could just choose a gift, so Andrea choose her own gift.  Ron ended up having her choose another....and she was very happy with her ballet barbie.

All day Becca was asking about her Birthday cake.  I had made it while she was in bed last night and she never saw it...actually we pretended that I didn't even have one.  My ever honest daughter confessed during dinner. "Mommy, I actually looked in the freezer (what she calls the fridge) and saw my cake,while you were still in the car, so I know I have one"  Ron gave her such a hard time, teasing her that she was going to get the coal for peeking that she almost started to cry.  Anyway, this is her finally getting to see her birthday cake, and it brought a lot of smiles.

The birthday cake.

 Do you think she was excited for this gift-she was hugging the box so tight and trying to open it all at once.

 Thankfully we can just get pretend animals for Becca-we would have to live on a farm to keep up with her love of animals.

Thanks for the very fun card from Grandma and Grandpa Mulder

After our little party it was off for Becca's first gymnastics mini-meet.  It is just a rec league but still special for Becca as we never get to watch her during the week.

 Way to go Becca, they had stations that each girl would complete-tumbling, barre, balance beam, and a couple others. 

  

Good Night to all, Becca is all snuggled in with a baby that has beautiful new clothes and a purring kitty-blissful happiness for this five year old!
