A Whole Hand

There is something about my children turning 5 that just makes me rejoice and cry all at the same time. I'm thrilled that they are joining the "Big Kid" ranks, but distressed to see the baby years disappear at the same time. Once again, it is happening.

The little girl you met in THIS POST and THIS POST is a whole year older and that makes her a whole hand! Happy Birthday Sunshine!

She picked out this bag...it's as big as her!

She is a lot of fun to give presents to because she LOVES everything and it shows!


And, what began as cleaning the frosting off the lid...

Ended with an all-out lick-the-lid clean fest!

(In case you are wondering how I got birthday pictures so early in the day, it is because these are from the early party we had for her on Wednesday with Grandma. We'll still celebrate today, though! Happy Birthday!!)

Drum Roll Please...

ahem...

but first, we interrupt this announcement to bring you something very important...




Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday my dear, sweet, hunk of hero husband, Ty!
Happy Birthday to you!








Happy Birthday, my love!
