Lucy is 5!!

Happy 5th birthday to Lucy!! We had a really fun birthday party for her with lots of her friends from preschool, neighbors, and friends that we hang out with. We had everyone come in their swimsuits and got the pool with slide out, slip n' slide, sprinklers under the trampoline, and other water toys. We had hotdogs and chips (Lucy's favorite), cupcake ice cream cones, and popsicles. That is what she wanted!!

Dad got out the sidewalk chalk and left a little message for Lucy.

Norah eating and trying to keep up with all of the older kids. She loved having them all over to play.

She had presents galore!! She was still opening presents days after cause she had so many!

A picture of all of the kids that came to her party! One of the little boys from her preschool class officially declared Lucy's party "the best birthday party ever!" We all laughed because it really wasn't a big deal but the kids had so much fun!

Dave had called on his way home from work on the actual day of Lucy's birthday and told Lucy we could go anywhere she wanted for dinner because it was her birthday and guess what she chose... yup, McDonalds.. Gross! Haha but she loves it and was really excited that we all went together as a family to eat on her birthday. Then we went to Greaters for icecream. Fun birthday night with the family.

Then... her birthday present. A new bike, which she really needed. She grew out of her little kid tricycle last year so we figured it was time to upgrade. She loves it and is still getting used to the training wheels but I don't think it will be long before the training wheels come off. She was so cute when we showed her the bike, biggest smile on her face. She is so darn cute!

Lucy and daddy taking a stroll.. I love all of the trees in the summertime.

I can't believe Lucy is 5.. where has the time gone? I remember the day she was born and it seems like yesterday. We love her so much and are so grateful for her sweet, energetic, little body and funny personality. She makes us laugh everyday! Happy Birthday to my little (not so little anymore) Lucy!!
