Celebrating

Carly turned 5 a couple of weeks ago. Yep, 5 years old. It seems like it has gone by so fast. I'm not sure what I think about her going to kindergarten next year--I will be lonely!
Carly is such a fun little person to be around. I was so worried about her birthday this year--as we have been cutting back all around, I worried that I wasn't making her birthday the fabulous event that it should be {we didn't go to the salon for our birthday makeover, no friend party, and since we weren't having a big party I really didn't want to spend hours making a cake}. There has never been a kid more happy about having a "family party" and making cupcakes to take to school. Her only request--"can I please have PINK cupcakes?!" So, we enjoyed making the most yummy and fabulous pink cupcakes, and she very proudly took them to school to share with her friends. She thrived on the attention she got all day long {actually, all week long} and I just loved watching her enjoy the small and simple moments.

That's a way cute picture Megan. It's hard to see our babies grow up isn't it? Travis turns 11 today. My first born is turning into a young man. I'm not ready.
I hate that I didn't get to go on Wednesday. It would've been so nice to see you. Raincheck for sure.
