It was this sweet girls birthday today. And she is 5!! Hard to believe she is five, it sounds so old.
I of course wanted to take her picture in her pretty dress today and I was able to get one picture before the funny faces came out. Right now it seems Mikayla can't take a regular picture, they all need to be a funny face!
We had kind of a busy weekend around here so the poor girl kind of had a thrown together birthday. Thankfully she didn't know or seem to care. We celebrated her and that was all that mattered. She decided to help daddy do a little work in the garage before opening presents.
A new Pete the Cat book!! Mikayla loves these books right now and I love to listen to her "read" along.
Penguin wrapping paper you ask? Like I said it was a busy weekend. Mikayla didn't seem to notice at all, it was presents after all. Who cares what their wrapped in!
New skates!!
And a new helmet to go with her skates. Look how cute this little girl looks!
Getting a little help from dad, athough she didn't really need help, she was doing great. And I love the other picture. She sat down like she had been skating for hours. Who knew skating was such hard work?
Taking a minute to read her new Frozen book between laps around the kitchen.
Of course Jennifer needed to get her skates on as soon as Mikayla opened hers. Love these two skating sisters!
And a birthday would not be complete without a trip to get some ice cream.
Like I said, she can't go without a funny face!
I always reflect on Mikayla's birthday a little differently than the other girls. Five years ago when this sweet, blond haired, blue eyed baby entered into the world, we had no idea. We had no idea the joy that would be coming our way in just a few weeks. One of Mikayla's favorite things to say right now is "watch this!" She then usually proceeds to do a little dance, stomping her feet and clapping her hands. I am so thankful that I get to "watch this" with this sweet girl everyday. Happy Birthday Mikayla Jo!!
