Afton turns 5

I can't believe Afton is 5! She has grown and changed so much this last year and I love who she's becoming. She is imaginative and creative. She loves to play roughhouse and will still snuggle me and give me kisses. She still thinks a kiss will help her owies and wants to get her own food, get dressed and carry the new baby.

People always say these years go by so quickly but I'm not sure I agree. I've loved every stage (although I've told Afton many times to stop growing) and feel grateful to have soaked up every one.

Afton's 5th birthday

Afton's always excited about everything but this year she was really excited about her birthday. She decided on a blue bird party the day after her birthday last year and she's been planning ever since...

Traditional pancake breakfast with little bird pancakes!

Waiting for everyone to come to the party. It was 9:30 and the party started at 12:30. Long wait....

Afton had so many ideas for food and decorations. I just helped out.

Bird masks

Cheerio bird feeder necklaces

Pass the egg with the spoon game.

Blue popcorn

Gummy worm favors

Lots of thoughtful gifts.
