Picture of the week -- 18 of 52

my baby is now 5 years old!! i can't believe it! i wish she would just stay this age forever! i told her that this is going to be her last birthday because i don't want her to get any older or any bigger -- from now on she will just have an "anniversary of her 5th birthday"!



my little one was very diligent about making her birthday wish. the praying hands lasted for about 7 seconds!


she was excitedly opening her gifts!


my little one with her "besties"



that night we had a crawfish boil at our house for one of our friends birthday. we figured we already had the house cleaned and decorated from the little one's party so we might as well have another party!
