Sister turned FIVE

When you're little, turning FIVE can be thrilling. Annie could hardly wait to be a whole handful. Her momma, on the other hand, wasn't as thrilled that her baby was growing up so much.

We started opening presents on her birthday, Sunday, February 23, before church....hence the fancier than normal attire!

Presents make her very happy!!!

This unicorn bike helmet pleased her very much!

She just makes life so much more fun!!!

Things Annie loves: people...especially her family, sweets, gum, animals, swimming, jumping on the trampoline, make-up, popsicles, playing with friends, Barbies, golf cart rides, the bathtub, brownies, the beach, the bubbas, cartoons, playing on my phone, cooking, make-up, church, school, helping someone do a project, driving the car down the driveway, squealing, music, going to people's houses,

The day after her birthday I went to her classroom and took snacks. This made sister very happy!

Thankful she got her daddy's lashes!

Valentine's and Please stay little

Traditions make my heart happy. I want my children to grow up and remember the special and fun things I tried to do for them. I enjoy decorating the kitchen table for different holidays.

Valentine's happies....

Annie

Ford

Bitty

I figured they could all use some shoes. The little two were dying for a bathroom bag since Ford got one for Christmas.

Some students gave me chocolate covered strawberries....

I slipped away to Annie's Valentine's party for a few minutes.

She loves school and she loves life! I hope she always will.

We stop by the local library A LOT. On this particular day, they taught them how to make cool bookmarks.

I couldn't go with Fancy to the Rotary Sweetheart Banquet, so I suggested he take Annie. This pleased her very much! The cake won her over.

Bitty got to teach his class how to make the cool bookmarks the librarian showed them how to make.

Upward is over....I had a lot of fun helping coach the first and second graders.

Bitty was the smallest, shocker I know!

I needed to document meal times Bitty still stands.

On Monday we celebrated President's Day and went to Urban Air with the cousins.

We hosted a fundraiser at our house last week. In an effort to make the house look nicer I decided I better polish my silver. This was a first and y'all, I totally enjoyed it MUCH more than I thought I was going to.
