One Whole Hand

Happy 5th Birthday to Kenzie! This Birthday has made me realize that my baby is not so baby anymore. Kenzie is still, and I'm sure will always be, spoiled like the baby of the family is. For instance, she is well more than half my height and yet, when she wants me to, I carry her around on my hip!:) She pretty much gets what she wants, if within reason, and it drives the other kids crazy. But we all love her to pieces! Kenzie loves playing with friends, coloring pictures, going to school and dance, being a helper, acting silly, and giving hugs! This day was Birthday celebration from morning until night!
Kenzie's yummy birthday breakfast in bed: scrambled eggs w/ ketchup, toast, strawberries, and orange juice. I love how she's holding her glass to drink...so funny!
Kenzie opened up cards and gifts from Grandmama and Uncle Shane's family. Grandpa and Grandma Debbie called to sing "Happy Birthday". Thanks!
What a cutie in her Birthday outfit!
Kenzie has been showing interest in getting her ears pierced and I thought it would make the perfect Birthday present. We headed for Claire's first thing. She picked out beautiful, sparkly flower earrings. This is a before and during picture. Kenzie was so brave! It was over pretty fast. She only said, "Ow"... not a single tear was shed!
Kynlee and Karley convinced me to let them miss school so they could see Kenzie get her ears pierced. They were so sweet with her! I love these girls!
We went to McDonald's for her Birthday lunch. She enjoyed her chicken nuggets Kid Meal!
After being Queen of the Day at Pre-school, I brought the kids from her class and met others at our house for her "Soccer" Birthday party. This was her first friend Birthday party. It was rainy, so thankfully a neighbor offered their basement for our soccer game. The kids had a blast!
The little soccer pros!
We came back home and had cupcakes and Powerade drinks.
Kenzie and her friends had a lot of fun at the party!
Kenzie loves her Baby Alive doll! We ended the fun filled day with her favorite dinner, Hot Wings. Happy Birthday to the sweetest and cutest 5 year old...I love you so much Kenzie! Grandma Slider took Kenzie the next day to Build-A-Bear Workshop for her Birthday gift. Kenzie had fun picking out her purple bear, bathing and brushing her, dressing her, and giving her loves. She named her bear, "Snuggle Bug"...so cute! I know Kenzie enjoyed having Grandma all to herself for a little while. Thanks Donna!
