Here's our little sweetie in her last hours as a 5-year-old.
Daddy putting her to bed:
(How CUTE is this picture??!)
Goodnight, sweet baby. See you when you're 6!
Aaaaaaand, Good MORNING! :)
Presents and donuts awaited her.
Some new clothes and new shoes!
She decided to pair a new shirt with some purple pants in her closet. It was "wear your teacher's favorite color" day, and she went all out!
Isn't she sassy?
I asked her to show me six fingers, and this is the look I got!
So, I called in the reinforcements.
BFF's!
Luken also took some photos!
Her fancy new shoes. She's been absolutely DYING for a pair of shoes "with no straps!"
She was officially 6 sometime while I took those outdoor photos!
Then I had to drop the kiddos off at school. Later, I had lunch with each of them, surprising them with Chick Fil A. After school, we played with some friends at the park for a couple of hours. The kids got absolutely filthy, so I sent them to clean up once we got home. Then Grandpa called, so Keeley took the call on the couch, all bundled up with a blanket. :) She was happier than she appears in this photo. I don't know why I couldn't get a better expression. :P
After the call ended and she got dressed, it was time to tear into her loot!
An American Girl doll!! She is thrilled to pieces!
A new shirt.
A puppy for her doll.
And many other awesome things. :)
Then it was time to head to dinner. Keeley picked a hibachi restaurant, where "they cook in front of you!"
The kids LOVE the fire!
Dinnertainment!
Our chef was egg-scellent. :P
Chef was flinging cooked egg at his diners, hoping it would land in our mouths. Luken thought this was GREAT fun!
JUST missed! (Look at his right shoulder.)
Look at all the yumminess!
The volcano onion.
Ready for the fire!
Well, maybe I'll just hide here behind Luken.
That's one way to cook a steak.
Once dinner was served, I packed up the camera and dug in.
Keeley's choice for dessert was frozen yogurt.
The kids love to serve it up themselves.
Toppings galore!
We opted to eat it at home, and I snuck a candle into Keeley's, so we could properly sing "Happy Birthday!:
Time for a little playing before bed!
Her new nightie, which she picked out for her upcoming almost-slumber-party!
She had a quiet rest in her room before bedtime, and this is how she spent her time.
She had named her doll "Avery," and wrote the name on a sticky note so she wouldn't forget the name. Isn't that the cutest??!!
With "Pepper."
Time for bed!
She actually fell asleep with the sleep mask on. Adorable.
So, that's it for another birthday in our household! We can't believe she's actually 6, but we couldn't be more proud of her. We all love her soooooo MUCH!
