It's Good to Be 5

My very sweet little miss is now 5. Can you believe it? Really, I can't believe she is actually 5 already. Soon she will be in kindergarten and next college. Ok, we might have a few years before college. Still I find it is simply amazing how fast time has gone by. It feels like only yesterday she was an infant, snuggled up with me late at night, breastfeedingt and now she is a big girl.

So, you ask, "how did we spend this special day?" Well, we had grand plans to spend the day gallivanting all over doing tons of special things. Best laid plans an all- it turned out, due to the big brother guy being sick, our plans were slightly altered . My little miss took this change in the day rather well all in all. Secretly, I think she rather enjoyed having her big brother home with her on her birthday.

The better part of the day was spent at home playing with paper dolls, watching a movie, creating potions in the sink, all the things normally done on Wednesdays. (Wednesday's she doesn't have school.) Things got a bit more exciting around 5:30 when Grandma and Grandpa stopped by with her brand new special big girl bike!

After riding the bike for a bit with her daddy little miss hopped in the car headed straight to Build-A-Bear Workshop. Build-A-Bear has become a sort of tradition for little miss and her daddy to do on her birthday. She had her last birthday bear in hand to get a fancy new outfit along plans for with a new bear and outfit. (Sick big brother and I stayed home and hung out.)

Two fancy bears, a very happy birthday girl, and silly daddy headed to California Pizza for dinner and than home for cake. Upon seeing said cake little miss exclaimed, "Daddy that is my dream cake, how did you know that was the cake of my dreams?" It just so happens that the cake little miss dreamt the night about having the night before her birthday, was the exact cake happen chance her daddy picked out at the store.

So all in all a wonderful birthday was had, who needs plans anyway!
