Savannah is 5!

Happy Birthday Savannah!
She's been counting down the days for a while now. When she woke up this morning she got to open the boys' present before they left for school. They had picked out a daisy pendant and earrings for her, which I made into a bracelet and necklace. She also got a ring from Zach and a jewel from Connor.I've been telling her that we were going to a special place for her birthday. We drove to the mall and went to Build-a-Bear. She'd never been there. Probably never even seen one. I don't think I've ever taken my kids to the mall since we've lived here...I'm not a shopper. She was so excited to pick out an animal. She chose a gray cat. Connor was TERRIFIED of the stuffing machine and kept saying "We pay now? We go home now?"She named her cat "Caddy." She said it was like cat, but with an EEE on the end. "But we have to spell it with a "D" because it sounds like a "D" Mommy."

Caddy got a fairy costume (it has rainbow wings that you can't see in the picture) and her own pet puppy.

After lunch at McDonald's we decorated Savannah's cake. We had found an M&M butterfly cake online that she wanted to do. When I bought the Easter M&M's there was a picture of the cake on the package too. She loved helping to sort the M&M's by color.

...and "frosting" the extra cupcakes

For dinner she chose fish sticks and strawberries. Then we had cake and opened presents.

She was VERY excited to get dress-up eye shadow and two new colors of nail polish.

She got a super cute kindergarten outfit from the Strongs (she loved it...just can't tell from the picture).

And a "beautiful" Barbie from the LeSueurs.

I can't believe our little girl is five already. Time flies when you're having fun!
