Amaya's 5th birthday

My baby girl turned 5 on October 22. I guess that's what it takes to get me blogging again....please don't give up on me, keep checking back.
It was such a bittersweet day. I love the joy a birthday brings to my kids, but It makes me sad to see them grow up. Amaya has been talking about this day for over a month and was so excited when the day finally arrived. She had the whole day planned. The first thing she told me when she woke up was "Today is my birthday and I get to do whatever I want". Well she did! She went to preschool, had her friend Brooklyn over for lunch, got to play for awhile, skipped a nap, had her favorite dinner (orange chicken), opened gifts, and then went to build a bear. At the end of the day she asked if tomorrow was her birthday too. What a great day we had!
