HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOO YOOUU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR PRINCESS ALEXA..HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOOUUUU.


MY DEAR LITTLE ANGEL TURNED 5 YEARS OLD YESTERDAY. I ACTUALLY GOT THRU THE DAY WITHOUT ANY TEARS, BUT INSIDE I WAS A BIT EMOTIONAL KNOWING SHE WAS A WHOLE YEAR OLDER. 5 YEARS ALREADY! WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

WE SURPRISED HER WITH THE KITCHEN DECORATED BIRTHDAY STYLE AND CUPCAKES FOR BREAKFAST. SHE HAD A PERMANENT SMILE ON HER FACE. HER PUPPY, CHIP, WAS HER BIG BIRTHDAY PRESENT, BUT WE GOT HER A LITTLE SOMETHING TO OPEN ON HER DAY, TOO. SHE WAS VERY PLEASED.

I WENT OVER TO HER SCHOOL TO HAVE 'SNACK' WITH HER ON HER SPECIAL DAY. SHE BROUGHT COOKIE TREATS TO SHARE WITH ALL HER FRIENDS. AT FIRST SHE ASKED THAT I DIDN'T TAKE PICTURES (EMBARASSING MOM!) BUT, AFTER I GOT THERE (CAMERA IN HAND) SHE ALLOWED ME TO TAKE A FEW. SHE WAS SO HAPPY AND SITTING PROUD AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE WITH HER BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY CROWN THAT MS. KATE MADE FOR HER. THE KIDS SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND SHE WAS ON CLOUD NINE. SHE IS THRILLED TO BE FIVE.

DADDY MADE TACOS FOR DINNER (ALEXA'S FAV) AND TOOK HER TO TARGET FOR A SLUSHY FOR HER SPECIAL TREAT. THEN, WE LET HER STAY UP LATE TO PLAY HER FAVORITE CARD GAME. HER AND I FELL ASLEEP CUDDLED TOGETHER ON THE COUCH.


LILLIAN ALSO BROUGHT COOKIE TREATS FOR HER FRIENDS, BEING HER BIRTHDAY FALLS ON A WEEKEND. SHE STARTED CRYING WHEN HER FRIENDS STARTED SINGING, SO WE STOPPED. SHE TURNED INTO A MAMMA'S GIRL AND WANTED TO STAY CLOSE BY ME. SHE WANTED A COOKIE, THO. MS. AMBER MADE HER A BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY CROWN AND BANNER. SHE HAD A VERY SPECIAL DAY.


I LOVE YOU ONCE...I LOVE YOU TWICE..I LOVE YOU MORE THAN BEANS AND RICE BABY GIRLS. HUGS AND KISSES TO YOU BOTH!
LOVE, MOMMY
