Happy 5th Birthday, Savannah

It is hard to believe that our little Valentine's "baby" has turned 5!  Savannah's school celebrated her birthday with 2 parties -- one for valentine's day, and one for Savannah's birthday. She was very excited that she got to bring cupcakes, be the leader for the day, and pick from the special "birthday box" that their classroom has (she chose a pink bracelet). At home, she was VERY excited to find mommy had decorated with streamers and balloons. She discussed her "schedule" with Daddy (who came home early) and decided she wanted to open presents before dinner and have cupcakes after dinner. Her special birthday dinner was "cream macaroni, like Grandma Rooney makes" - and she chose pink flower cupcakes instead of a cake. She was happy to let Gage blow out some candles (about 5 times) on his cupcake after she blew hers out.  She got some new clothes and stuff for her American Girl doll (okay, it's a fake from Target, but she' doesn't know that!), some new monster high dolls, and a Leapfrog Explorer. When all the Grandmas & Grandpa's called us that night to say happy birthday, she did NOT want to step away from that Explorer (it's a hand-held learning video game). She's proving to be addicted!!!
