Alive at Five

The long anticipated fifth birthday for Anna finally arrived.  She's wanted for years to be five and to stay five forever.  Although she's backed off the "stay five forever" stance, she did have a great day!  Happy #5 to our sweet, cuddly, dramatic, hilarious but not funny, non-ticklish, yellow, sparkly, princess Anna!

She's 5, not 8, and gets her favorite for breakfast - donuts!

And she adds a sister

and another sister

but not a 3rd sister - she was sleeping in!

A few morning presents

Now her Belle will no longer have a fat face...for now

Anna was happy that she gets Mae's carseat

As you can tell - this was Anna's cake and not Mae's.  She didn't want cool whip on top of her ice cream cake - instead, she wanted puppy chow

Didn't I see that same burning symbol on Roswell?

An evening of celebrating

Sister, cousins, and grandparents

More presents!

Sparkly "stickers" that can be used as earings

Memorial Day 2017

We had a lot of fun celebrating Memorial Day.  We spent the early afternoon with our ward at Symmes Park for our picnic and then it was a touch chilly when the sun wasn't beating down, but we still got to the back yard for some water fun.  At the end of the day we are grateful for the freedoms to have days together like this because of those who went before and made the ultimate sacrifice. 

She could do this for hours

She loves the sand

She loves to eat - and grab your phone when you take pictures of her

They weren't out there very long

Mother's Day Magic

We had a wonderful day celebrating the mother of our family.  It was a great day to praise our own mothers and mothers everywhere.

Blueberries

Mae had a great first season in the Passers Division - moving from 3 on 3 with no goalie to 7 on 7 with a goalie.  She played a decent amount of goalie and only gave up one goal all season.  Once she got her feet wet, she scored 4 goals in 5 games.

Anna-ther Celebration

We celebrated with family the next night.  She wasn't in the best of moods - when we limited her cookie intake.  If it was your actual birthday, we would have given you a pass on dinner, but we still think 2 big cookies after eating no dinner is fair.  Overall, I still think she enjoyed the celebration. 

Not thrilled

At least she humored us and blew out a candle

Cousin gifts

More gifts

And yes, she was still upset about the cookies at the end of the night
