I feel like we spoiled her rotten this year. It's a bad habit of ours. We got up at 6:00am this morning (I know, that was hard for me. 6:00am does not exist in my world) I made Autumn's favorite breakfast (which is french toast, even though in the quiz she says it's oatmeal.) I filled her room up with balloons and put streamers hanging in her doorway, I decorated her chair with pink and purple streamers and pink balloons, I hung big decorative balls from the lights, and I put a princess crown at her spot. She said she liked all the decorations. We got up for the family breakfast so that Autumn could open her presents before Dad left for work. We got her a frozen two wheeler bike, a frozen sing along purse thing with a microphone attached, a frozen match game (Nixon picked it out for her), two new movies (Ariel's Beginning and The Little Mermaid 2), and some new clothes. Like I said, SPOILED!! Logan and I both had to work today so she spent the day with Grandma Joy, Nixon, and her cousin Bryton. She got to have a class party at school where she shared her favorite candy (reeses) w/ her class and got to bring a poster all about her. Tonight we took her to Noodles and Co., which is her favorite place to eat and then we went to Build A Bear. She picked out a puppy and dressed her in an Elsa dress.She was pretty excited.She named her Bella. On the drive home we told her her birth story and then talked about our favorite memories of when she was smaller. She loved hearing about it. I loved talking about it and remembering fun things.
My favorite thing she did/said today was this morning when Logan went into her room to get her. He said "Happy Birthday Autumn, you're five now!" and she replied, "hmm, I thought I would be bigger." HA! So cute! I love the way she thinks. She turned five over night, so why wouldn't she be all grown up and big over night too?
Here are a few things Logan wrote about Autumn today on Instgram:
HapE BrfdA to my sweet at times, cute, grumpy, opinionated, stubborn, funny, toy loving, clothes loving, movie loving, bread loving, grandma loving babygirl #autumnisfive
I think that sums her up real good. Except he forgot to mention mom loving and button hating, two very important things in the world of Autumn.
Welp, Happy 5th Birthday to our girl. We love you sugar plum fairy bum! You are to best snuggler and the sweetest thing when you want to be. We are proud of the girl you are!
These last few pictures are from Autumn's friend birthday party. It was the first one we have ever done for her. She invited 18 kids. Almost all of them came. Everyone wore their favorite dress up. We played duck-duck-goose, jumped on the trampoline, did tricks on the trampoline, decorated crowns, hit a pinata, and opened presents. She had a blast and got tons of play dough (hot item of the year, half of the kids got that for her! Which she loved because we didn't have any before that) the weather was great and we were able to be outside the whole time, Hallelujah!
