To Our Middlest - Our Five-Year-Old!

How did it happen so fast, Kerri Grace? 

 

In the blink of an eye, you have gone from our tiny little five pound sack of sugar to our sweet five-year-old sugar overload!

 

What have you added to our family over these past five years?  Giggles, pretend play that we never knew existed, cuddles, cute phrases made even cuter by your huge personality and adorable little lisp (which is going away as you get older), many evenings chasing lightning bugs, more days spent digging for worms, sweet bedtime conversations about Jesus and Heaven, singing made up songs, and even more love than we knew our hearts could hold!  We thank Jesus for the amazing gift He entrusted us with ,when he sent us YOU!

We had a Ballerina Birthday Party for you, and you were absolutely giddy.  It was so fun to watch you play and enjoy your day with your sweet little friends.  This is the first year that you were more concerned about your friends than your family - I love watching you mature.

Mommy worked hard to decorate the house just right.

 

 

 

 

We had a "real ballerina" come to teach us some fun moves.  Miss Laurel was so sweet, and you loved having her at your party.

 

 



 

Oliver thought the party was for him.  You and Maggie put a tutu on him, and all the little dancers thought that was so funny!

We had a fancy dinner, and we served some of your favorites - Chic-fil-a nuggets, chips, watermelon, fruit snacks, and pink lemonade.

We have to stretch first.

 

We danced, and danced, and danced some more!

 

 Blow out your candles!

We served chocolate cake, and of course, that was your favorite part of the meal.

 

You have definitely inherited your mom's love of receiving gifts. :)

 On your birthday day, your grandparents spoiled you some more!  You loved having all of their attention.

 

Happy 5th Birthday to our Favorite Middlest, Kerri Grace!

We Love You So Much!



Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. - Psalm 127:3
