How hard it is for me to believe that my sweet little Gwyn is 5 already! This girl has a heart of gold, loves her sister and brother, shares what she has, let's people win at games, let's people go first, she loves gymnastics, she loves to sing songs and play music, she loves school, loves homework, loves to read her home readers, loves her teachers, loves to run and play outside, loves carrots dipped in ranch, loves spaghetti, loves her family, loves her friends, and now absolutely LOVES her American Girl doll and to change her clothes multiple times / day. We've had a great few days with visits from both her G and Grandpa and her Nana and Papa. She woke up on her birthday morning so excited (before everyone at about 5:20 am) and waited patiently to blow out her candles on her donuts:
She got dressed and ready to go...it wasn't a school day:
She picked to meet Brian at lunch at Chick Fil A and traded in her kids meal book for some birthday ice cream!
Next up were getting her nails done with Annie and Izzy:
Birthday dinner at home (spaghetti and meatballs) with a Periwinkle birthday cake (vanilla)...Periwinkle is Tinkerbell's twin sister:
Annie was ready for the cake and ice cream:
Here is a closer picture of Brian's masterpiece...Gwyn got to help:
Next up was a quick trip to the American Doll store where Gwyn for the first time ever got to try on outfits to match her doll...I realized I had never taken her shopping like this before where she got to try things on...she either gets hand me downs from friends, or I just buy things for her and know her size...I feel like we opened a can of worms here, she LOVED modeling the different outfits for Brian:
Her American Girl Doll...who has since been named Anna, Hannah, Ailey, McKenna, etc...not sure what her name is today:
And this is what crazy Annie did while we shopped for Gwyn:
She got dressed and ready to go back to the American Girl store for her birthday party...how lucky did we get that the store is about 3 minutes from the house...wait, maybe not so lucky as it is going to be an expensive habit and already Annie is jealous and wanting a doll too:)
Tea party for her friends and their dolls, so cute!
Annie brought her baby from home and was giving her some tea:
Yummy!
Group picture with Annie acting like a goofball and purposefully not looking at the camera:
Group shot minus Annie since she wasn't cooperating:
Picture of Annie licking the bowl from Gwyn's cake, I had to throw that one in here...too funny!
We have had a very busy couple of weeks. Brian took Jacob to the Houston Rockets basketball game with a group of kids from his basketball team and Jacob thought it was the best thing ever. I went to Kindergarten round up for Gwyn...still can't believe I'll be enrolling her in the next couple of months! Brian and I got a hotel night after Jacob's school Auction, we had a lot of fun, it was a great night. Jacob scored 7 points at his basketball game for Rick/Sue and my Mom and Dad. We've signed Gwyn up for coed t-ball and Jacob up for 7-8 yr baseball...this is a calm before the storm with just having Jacob in basketball on Saturdays and Gwyn in gymnastics on Wednesdays...Lord help us when we have 3 kids doing things at the same time!! We are loving life and sadly it is flying by!!
