Leah is FIVE!
Someone had a birthday this past week...
It's no surprise that birthdays are my favorite. Celebrating the birth of my babes is one of the highlights of my year, and I just love giving them the attention they deserve on their special day. Leah has been looking forward to her birthday since last year! No joke. So, it wasn't a surprise that she was beyond excited when her birthday finally came. She loved the fact that she was turning 5..."a whole handful", as she put it :).
We had a pretty eventful week celebrating our little princess.
We started her actual birthday off by singing to her and opening her gifts. From us, she got a stamp set, the game Spot It, a ladybug pillow pet, and a razor scooter. She was pretty excited, since she specifically asked for each thing...
We had our traditional pancake breakfast, where I spelled out her name. They all love it when I do this :).
It was a pretty cold and dreary day, so we spent the day at home playing with her new goodies. She and Isaac had a blast zooming around the kitchen on the razor. Oh, the things we let our kiddos do...on their birthday :). Leah requested to go to In-n-Out for dinner that night, since all she really wanted was her very own vanilla shake. Doug and I were happy to oblige to her request. She was in heaven with her shake...definitely one of the highlights of her day :).
Man, I love this girlie so much! After dinner, we just came home and hung out, since that was what she wanted to do :).
Leah's second request for her birthday was to go swimming with her cousins. This little girl is a fish, and she LOVES the water! We had a great afternoon swimming with the family. Afterwards, we went to our house for dinner and ice cream. It was so great getting together with everyone, and we're so thankful that they all came to celebrate her special day :).
We ended the weekend off by having my parents come over for dinner on Sunday. They totally spoiled Leah with an outfit for her doll, and outfit for her, and an nano! I think she was most excited over having her own little Nano...she LOVES music and has been listening to it ever since she got it!
Singing *Happy Birthday* to Leah one last time :). She totally ate up having all of the attention on her all weekend...can you tell??
She even celebrated her birthday at school by wearing a cute little crown, birthday sticker, and taking cupcakes to share with her class!
Needless to say, Leah had a very good birthday this year! We love this girl more than words and we're so thankful that she is ours! I still can't believe that she's been with us for FIVE years...man, oh man, how time flies!
We love you sweet girl...to the moon and back!!
