Good Bye 4, Hello 5

Little Miss Gwen turned 5 today.  She has been waiting for this day since February when Embree turned 5.  She literally has asked me how long it was till her birthday 3 times a week since then.  Today was the big day! We celebrated by singing her Happy Birthday as many times as possible, Making a special breakfast of crystallized cinnamon sugar bagels, bringing in Caterpillar rice crispy treats to her class, and eating dinner with Nana and Pugga at Olive Garden (her choice, however she calls it the "Blueberry restaurant" because that is what she thinks is on the sign.)  Gwen got an extra special surprise from her daddy.  One that I didn't even know about.  He sent her flowers.  They came in the form of a crown, and they were delivered right to her classroom =0).  As you can imagine, she thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Dear Gwen,

We love you more than you could ever imagine.  You brighten our world.  You are smart, kind, thoughtful, vibrant, loving, cuddly, adorable, and everything else.  We feel so lucky to have you in our family.  I hope that being 5 is everything you imagined it would be!  I love you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Love- Mommy
