The Princess is 5!

Our princess turned five on May 3rd!  She was looking forward to this birthday for a long time . . . turning five means going to Kindergarten after all.  To celebrate, she chose to go to Kangaroo Zoo and the kids had fun jumping on all the blowup toys and running around like crazy . . .

Earlier in the day, I told Olivia she could choose ANYWHERE she wanted to go for her birthday dinner.  She chose . . . Costco.  (My kids are all about the gourmet) . . .

After our super-fancy dinner at Costco, we went home for cake and presents.  Livi picked out a Hello Kitty cake, and she was exceedingly proud of her choice . . .

Opening presents . . .

Jason and I gave her the scooter she has been praying for every night for the last three months. She's been riding it 24/7 since . . .

We love our little princess.  She often says to me, "Mom, what would you do if you only had all these BOYS in your family?!"  She is my drama-queen sweetheart, and our family wouldn't be complete without her.  Happy Birthday Livi!!
