Caroline's Five!!!

My baby girl is five!!!!!!! I am so, so, so, so proud of her!!!!! Who knew that this amazing, vibrant, bright, beautiful little thing would be a part of MY life? She is just an amazing gift to her Daddy and her sister and to me!! I feel like the luckiest mama in the entire world to have her little life in mine. She just gets me going! We began the celebration on the morning of her actual birthday with wake up cupcakes and a couple of presents from family. This is a tradition at our house - cupcakes for breakfast on your birthday :)  Her party was wonderful and so many people came together with us to celebrate her birthday. We celebrated at Noah's Ark and the weather was beautiful - we deserved it after the monsoon last year - and Caroline was the perfect hostess. The best part was that Auntie Bean Bean flew in as a surprise to Caroline. We were so excited and grateful to have her here for this special day.

"Pleas'd look forward, pleas'd to look behind, And count each birthday with a grateful mind."
