Our five year old and her fairy tea party...

This last Saturday, we had family and friends come together to celebrate Eden's 5th birthday!
It was our fairy themed tea party!
The decorations:
The crafting time:
(They made popsicle stick fairies)
The "Fairy School Obstacle Course" where they all got their wings...
The food:
Pink lemonade out of vintage milk glass cups:
And the requested strawberry cupcakes:
"Blankie" came over while we sang happy birthday:
We ended with having the girls each eat their dessert while I read one of our favorites:
It was such a special time, surrounded by family and friends, some that are new and some we have had in our lives for years...
While we had our fun, the guys wen to baseball practice and then to miniature golf:
It was such a fun day of celebrating our incredible little five year old!

5 years old...

5 years ago this incredible human being was born.  
We couldn't believe that we had a daughter and that she was actually OURS!
She is full of life and joy and happiness.  She has a laugh that is contagious. 
 She is full of delight and fire and passion.  
She is nurturing and kind and relational and has a heart the shines with love for those around her.  We can't imagine life without her!  It doesn't feel like it's been five years since we brought you home...  We love you Eden Marie!  Happy birthday baby girl!
We can't wait to celebrate you and all that you mean to us!
