Five Years Old

Our sweet little princess is now five years old. It is so hard to believe. I somehow had convinced myself that the little peanut would stay a peanut forever.

This is her at three. Seems like it was just yesterday!

She is blossoming into a little girl as each day passes. She loves singing, performing, snuggling, and just being the center of attention (when it suits her to be the center of attention). She has the greatest laugh in all the world. It is more of a cackle, and it is so big that you think it could break her! She is reading on her own now. It is an amazing thing to see her sounding those words out. You can literally see those little wheels in her mind turning - such an amazing gift from God. 

Yummy gluten free donuts for breakfast on her birthday

Just still so hard to believe that she is this big already - she LOVES when I let her sleep in sponge rollers :-)

This was the first year that this sweet child was not terrified of the candles. Usually, she cries and we have to help her blow them out. This time, she totally owned those candles! :-)
