My Baby Turns 5!

I cannot believe this, my little girl is 5!! I cried the night before she turned 5 realizing then that it would be the last time she was 4 years old! I didn't know it would effect me that much. She asked me why I was crying and I told her it was because she was growing up so fast. Ellie told me that she had to get bigger and turn 5, that she had to grow and learn new things. Then when she was on her way to bed that night she turned around and said," Mommy, thank you for always having kindness in your heart!" Out of the mouth of babes!!
We had a big princess themed party for her and had so much fun! Princess Jasmine came and all of the little girls dressed up like princesses. Very cute!! The little boys did not want anything to do with Princess Jasmine, which was too funny! They would run away from her!
I cherish all of the special moments with my little ones. I wish they could stay little forever! Here I go again... crying.. but thankful to watch them grow healthy and strong and beautiful!
