I'm 5 Years Old!

Yup!  I just had my big 5 year old birthday.  Gone are the days where I have to tell people, "I'm 4 1/2". I'm a nice big whole number.

My 5th birthday was a great day.  It started out with chocolate chip AND sprinkle birthday pancakes.  Yum!  Then I went to school.  At the end of the school day, Mom and Dad showed up with cupcakes for my class.  They were pink with rainbow sprinkles.  And (by my request), I got a special cupcake with a rose on it.  After school, Mom took me to get a real manicure and pedicure!  I even got to soak my feet in the water.  I chose purple polish and got little pink hearts on each fingernail.  Then we went to the toy store (the purple house one...it's my favorite) and played for a bit.

My favorite part of my birthday was getting my presents.  First we celebrated early with Grandma and Grandpa on Sunday since they were in town, and they got me BUTTERSCOTCH!  It's a little horse. They also got me Bella, a Maltese puppy that came in a little pink carrying purse. My birthday morning I got some princess dolls from Mom and Dad.  And, Libby got me a little cat that purrs.  And you know what?! My big birthday party is still to come!  What a lucky girl!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween was a blast this year!  We dressed up in our costumes for our school's Fall Festival.  Libby was Rapunzel and I decided to wear my Belle dress because I didn't want to get my real costume (Bride Rapunzel) all dirty.  Later on we went to our neighborhood Trunk or Treat.  It's always fun because we see all our friends, eat Chick-Fil-A, pizza and Halloween cookies!  Then we came home to go trick or treating around the block.  It was a lot of walking, but I kept up pretty good with all the big kids in our neighborhood.  Libby was pretty tired so she rode in the wagon.  We got lots of candy and had lots of fun, but I was so ready to get in bed and go to sleep.  It was a long day!

Libby's naughty.  She's eating more pretzels after Mom said she'd had enough.
