The Big 05!

My sweet little (big?) girl turned 5 today. I can't believe it's been five years already. She is such a wonderful girl. She loves to learn. She is always asking me to help her read books, and to write her letters. She is so excited to start kindergarten (even if Mom is not!). She loves to play with my little ponies, polly pockets and to do anything arts and craftsy. I can't believe she started out so small. She's pretty average now. We just love her personality and her fiery spirit. That red hair really comes into play sometimes :) Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!!!

Kaitlyn had her pony party today. She invited five friends. We started out the party by painting some wooden ponies. Then we played pin-the-tail on the pony. Lunch was Little Ceasers, and then it was time for a little game with each girl getting to open a pony to take home. Then came Kaitlyn's favorite part of the party, the pony pinata. The girls had a blast hitting it, with Annie Atkinson doing the honor of breaking it open.

Then came the cake and ice cream. I think Kaitlyn had a great time. She was so happy that her friends could come a spend such a special day with her. Happy Birthday Bean!!!

Here are Kaityn's friends starting at the left : Lauren and Carly Ray, Kaitlyn, Annie Atkinson, and Gabby Lacher. They are all such great girls!
