Chloe's Birthday and PARTY!!!

Chloe's two week birthday celebration has come to an end. But what a two weeks she had! It all started with a family gathering. Since this was a Utah family gathering, it was the biggest gathering of all. Besides fun with her cousins, the highlight was the great birthday cake. You will notice that Princesses make several appearances from this point on . . .

Grandma and Grandpa caught on to the Princess theme and gave Chloe the most extravagant arts and crafts set I have ever seen. The upside is Chloe loves coloring, painting, and decorating with it. The downside is I keep finding Disney Princess stickers on my pants and in stuff! I guess that isn't really a downside . . . just an improvement in style.

The actual birthday was a lot of fun also. We started out with a yummy breakfast of all of Chloe's favorites - pancakes, french toast, orange juice, and bacon.


We moved on to presents shortly thereafter. Chloe was delighted by the new baby doll Gigi gave her. Chloe has named her Siena . . . cool name.

To end of all of the fun Chloe had a bunch of friends over yesterday to celebrate and play. Chloe's mom organized an amazing Princess Party with a pinata, a jewelery scavenger hunt, and pin the Cinderella on the Castle game. AWESOME!

Then there was cake! Pink cake! You better believe there were princesses on that too.


In the end, the craziest thing is that Chloe is 5 years old. It seems like just yesterday we were hanging out in the hospital in New Bern waiting 20 hours for her to arrive. From Day 1 she has made sure that we always remember that she is the boss (lest we forget she tells us this every day). She is our little princess and not a day goes by that we are not grateful to be graced by her presence.
