Five.

Five years ago today, this squishy-faced little baby girl completed our family.



She made quite the entrance: came out of the womb screaming and proceeded to scream for 2 1/2 hours. That's kinda like her entire life - not the screaming part - but she makes her presence known. When people first meet her she acts quite shy and reserved, but in reality she is our completely off-the-wall, crazy, fun, dramatic, spunky spitfire.

She wanted to have a Mermaid and Pirate party.

We played "Pin the Patch on the Pirate"

Ate some lunch and cake with all our friends

She requested a mermaid cake (it looked less creepy in real life, I promise)

Opened some presents

And did a treasure hunt outside with our pirate maps to find the "buried treasure" aka Treat Bags

Happy Birthday baby girl! We're excited you're 5 now...but that's it, okay? Stop growing up so darn fast!

Happy Birthday Pretty Girl! We remembered, but were out of the house and couldn't call.
The Party looks awesome - I might have to borrow that idea for Josh's 6th.

That is such a fun party idea! Love it. I can still hardly believe she could be 5 already.
