5

who knew that was such a HUGE number. I didn't until my baby girl had her 5th birthday this year. It was a hard one for me, there were some tears. It just seems like 5 is the pivotal age of releasing all things baby/toddler and turning into the "big girl". I still can't believe it has been five years since I brought this precious tiny girl home.

This year we celebrated with family Mermaid style and then on her actual birthday she invited a few friends over for a pumpkin decorating party. She had a great time!!! Thanks to everyone who made her day so special!

Backwards

Well, it has been so long I don't know where to start, so I think I shall work backwards. At least you will know the most recent stuff that way.

Halloween this year was so much fun. Both of the kids were really into it this year. They went right up to everyone and said "trick or treat" and "thank you". Emily's goal was to get candy to the top of bag. She almost did it.

We had a Toy Story 2 theme this year. All their idea and it worked out great. Emily was Jesse and Cadon was Buzz Lightyear. Emily had to make Jesse a little more girlie. No jeans for this girl, it was a red pettiskirt all the way.

I love this stage!! They are already excited about Christmas. Emily is ready to make her list for Santa and Cadon wants to put up the tree. This will be a fun year!!!

I leave you with some pics of my favorite Toy Story toys:
