Your Fifth Birthday

 Dearest Harper,

Mommy and Daddy came to school with you today for your birthday. We brought cookies to share with your class to celebrate YOU. 

 

 

 

After school, we took you miniature golfing for the very first time! You had a blast! So did we - you are such a fun kid!

Traditional double smooch - with attitude this year! Actually, you just wanted to be silly.

 

Imagine our excitement when you chose - all on your own, a Star Wars themed birthday party! I had so much fun planning it - tons of ideas for food and games. But, this was the first year I didn't make your invitations myself. I had a small amount of mom guilt about that, but got over it quickly when the ones we ordered came out totally adorable!

 

You colored this and wrote the words, and we hung it on the front door.

I did your hair in Princess Leia buns! And of course you wore a Star Wars shirt.

Another awesome cake, or cupcakes rather!

We made Chewbacca bookmarks...

And light sabers out of pool noodles.

And played a bean bag toss into the Death Star (which I drew and colored myself! TOLD YOU I had fun planning!)

You really are turning into an amazing little girl. You are so very smart, and funny, and easy going, and kind, and thoughtful. You are such a good girl. You make Mommy and Daddy proud on a regular basis. We hope you have a great year as a 5 year old, sweet girl. 

I love you,

Mommy
