5 years of E

My girl is 5. FIVE!! Craziness. So her day started with a breakfast of choice which was baked oatmeal.

she enjoyed it thoroughly



She had preschool that day where she was the birthday princess. It also happened to be the field trip to the ice cram shop day...she lucked out. It was there (above) where they sang to her. When they got back to class she passed out her birthday treats.
That evening I made the birthday dinner she requested: chicken, broccoli, corn, sweet potato fries. We had brownies and ice cream before we opened some presents from us and my mom. We then watched a slide show I made from birth to 5yrs. V kept yelling at it, which didn't match up with the vision I had of emotionally reminiscing, but we still enjoyed it.





Saturday was her fairy party with a few friends. I got a little craft crazy. I made mushrooms and wands that I hid and turned into a game. I also made wings and tutus that the girls happily wore and frolicked around in. They took all these things home as well as a few other goodies in baskets. The girls were great and really seemed to enjoy being fairies. There was one who would actually say things like "do the other fairies get to...?" My mom was a huge help in finishing some of the projects, as were the others who stayed at the party. thanks to all!

I'm officially NOT a cupcake decorator, but they were yummy!
