My little girl is 5!

I really can’t believe Carly is 5. Where has the time gone??!  Carly has been looking forward to this day since her birthday last year, seriously!  When it finally got here she didn’t know what to do with herself, she couldn’t believe it! We went to storytime in the morning and then I let her pick out anywhere she wanted to go for a fun lunch, she picked Sonic… and she only wanted a big thing of tots of which she only ate 5 and then was done. Haha. Then we had some friends come over for dinner and dessert to celebrate at night. This year Carly wanted a rainbow party again.  I made a rainbow cake after an idea I saw on Pinterest, but all the ones I saw on Pinterest were huge so  I made really small layers so the cake didn’t turn out ginormous.

Yes, at this point I was a little afraid how it would turn out, but frosting can work wonders.  I just filled all those gaping holes with frosting…

Can’t forget the llama piñata.  Carly really didn’t want to break it apart.

One of my favorite things about celebrating my kids’ birthdays is decorating at night when they’re asleep and seeing their reaction when they wake up.  I love me some good party décor.

Carly is such a smart, polite, loving, friendly little girl.  We love her so much and are so grateful to have our little rainbow girl in our family!
