Five Years Old!

I can't believe this sweet girl is already five years old! It seems like we brought her home just yesterday. {She turned five last week, on the 23rd, so this post is a little late.}

The past five years have been a wonderful and amazing journey with our sweet J. She's grown into such a sweet, sensitive and helpful little girl. She's smart and funny and creative. She loves school, loves to learn, loves arts and crafts and playing outside. She loves all things girly girly too.. like bows, and jewelry, playing with make-up, nail polish, pretty clothes and shoes and pretty tutus.

We celebrated pretty small this year and I'm still feeling pretty guilty about it since five is supposed to be a *big* birthday. We had a girls' day out to Dallas a few weeks ago. And then for her actual birthday we had gifts and cupcakes at home, just as a family, and we watched "Tangled" together. When she went to bed that night she announced it was her "best birthday ever!" As long as she had a great birthday I guess that's all that matters.. no matter how big or how small we celebrated. :)

Happy Birthday sweet J! We love you so much!
