This little princess is 5 years old. Unbelievable. (I know, I said the same thing when Wyatt turned 5. But the time passes so quickly).
She had a "perfect birthday."
First of all, she got two things that she has been begging us to buy her for months. A Princess Sofia dress and an amulet. And even better, she wants this to be her Halloween costume, too.
We decided to let her open her presents from us when she woke up in the morning. We also had her party that day, so we thought it was best to space things out a bit!
When a big brother spends his time choosing exactly what he wants to get you and keeps it a secret for weeks, he earns the right to hover while you open it. Even if he is ready for safari!
She was so sweet while she opened her presents. Every time she opened something she shouted out, "Awesome!" In case you can't tell, this girl was very excited to get her amulet!
Another favorite was a Brave archery set. Don't worry, it's just suction cups. But she takes her archery very seriously.
She planned out her birthday meals in advance so that I could shop for everything. No, I'm not kidding. She requested blueberry muffins and eggs for breakfast, chicken nuggets and strawberries for lunch, and Red Robin for dinner.
She got what she wanted. :)
We had her birthday party that afternoon (separate post to follow), and she had such a great time with all of her friends!
After her party we came home to open her presents, and followed it up with dinner at Red Robin. She was adamant that we tell them that it was her birthday because she really wanted them to sing happy birthday and bring her ice cream!
This made. her day.
I can't believe that it's been 5 years since this beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, artistic and hilarious little girl entered our lives, and stole our hearts. She is such a bright light to everyone, but she brings an immeasurable amount of love and happiness into our lives.
Happy 5th Birthday Reesie Piecey! We love you!
