Happy 5th Birthday!

 My cute chubby little baby suddenly turned 5 years old! Not sure how that happened so darn fast.  She was just a ball of baby blubber not very long ago.  Now she's a dancing, prancing, singing 5 year old. Amazing how time flies when you are having fun!

She really is fun. Always has been and I think she always will be. We sure have a good time together. Gracie loves to go places and we do a lot of that!

We didn't do much to celebrate her birthday, but that is exactly what she wanted. She wanted her sisters, Charlie and a cake. That's it.  So, that's just what she got. We got her some gifts, but nothing extravagant or expensive.

She did say she wanted to go to Disneyland on her birthday.  If that's what the kid wants, that's easy enough!  No party, no extra fuss, just a fun day with mom and little sis. Awesome! I quickly finished sewing the Jessie costumes, hand sewing all of the sequin work. We planned to go and I took the day off from babysitting Charlie so that we could go on her birthday, but....

The first rule of going to Disneyland is that Mommy must get enough sleep to function. That didn't happen so we didn't go.  Everyone took a long afternoon nap the day before, which messed up the whole night, which messed up the trip to Disneyland.  And then of course, everyone was too tired to even make it through the day so we all napped again! Ugh, the domino effect on the sleep schedule wreaks havoc on our entire week!

On her birthday, we all laid around the living room and played with her new toys, colored in her new coloring book, and watched her new movie.  We finished off the cake and put a dent in the pie.  It was a nice lazy day with everyone home. Gracie loved her lazy day birthday!  She said it was the best birthday ever!

I guess we'll go to Disneyland next week. She can still get her birthday button and have a fun day.
