Isn't she lovely

Today Kristen turns 5 years old...at 6:58 p.m. to be exact.



I cannot believe my baby is now a big girl! She has changed so much over the last 5 years. I can remember bringing her home from the hospital. She cried the entire first night all because she wanted the lights in the room on. I should have known then she was going to be a unique little girl and very much like her Momma. She knows what she wants and how she wants it. She brings so much joy to our lives. She is the funniest...cutest little girl (but of course she is mine so I am a little biased).

She loves learning new things, drawing, playing with play doh and doing crafts. Singing and dancing are one of her favorite things to do. She makes up silly songs and sings them. She LOVES stuffed animals, Disney Princess' and Barbies. Her favorite Disney Princess at the moment is Mulan. I don't know how many times we have watched that movie! Her favorite thing to play with is her Barbies and Mobigo game. She has a wonderful imagination. She likes to be outside and loves playing hide-n-seek. She likes taking pictures on her new camera she got for her birthday. She loves helping me cook and her favorite thing to eat right now is any fruit and chicken nuggets. Her favorite drink is strawberry lemonade. Her favorite snack is pretzels or yogurt. Pink, purple and yellow are her favorite colors. She loves reading books and the book she is really into is Pinkalicious. She is such a lovable, cute little girl with a soft heart that likes to be a big helper.

I didn't know 5 years ago how much she would change my life, for the better. While I wish I could bottle her up because she is at such a cute age, I am looking forward to watching her grow. She makes me so happy! A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart. Happy 5th Birthday Kristen! You are my sunshine!!
