Leah turns 5!

Leah also had a birthday recently.  She turned 5 just a few days before Christmas and since she has never really had a big party before, I let her have a princess party and invite her cousins and some friends.  Here are all the girls dressed up in their princess dresses.

Getting ready to eat some cake!

 Candy!

The decorations.  I was really proud of myself for being able to pull off a princess themed party just a few days before Christmas and not make it seem too Christmasy.  Leah loved the streamers and pink everywhere...

 And the pink birthday tree!

I can't believe my princess Leah is 5 years old.  She is growing up so fast and is so ready for kindergarten.  She loves to do pretty much anything Abbie is doing and also loves to dance, color, dress up, and play with her cousins.  She is also a great big sister to Porter and does a great job sharing with him and including him in her make believe games.  She is almost always happy and smiling and is pretty easygoing, happy to do whatever we need to do that day.  She loves to help me with cleaning and cooking and she also loves to run errands or go places with Daddy.  She is excited for Mommy to have a baby and I'm sure she will be a big help.  We love our sweet little Leah!
