On Tuesday this past week, Marissa turned 5. I can't believe that my little girl is 5. She is so grown up though. She informed me that now that she is 5, she will let me know when she is tired and will go to bed on her own. She also won't be coming into our bed anymore in the middle of the night, because she is 5 now and that means she isn't a baby anymore. LOL So far though she has been in bed fairly early and hasn't made a trip into our bedroom. I'll take it! I thought we were going to be adding to our zoo this year. All Marissa wanted for her Birthday was a bunny. I was kind of dreading it, mainly because we are uncertain if we are staying on the farm, and have no idea what job placement has in the near future for us. We have enough that we would be moving with as it is, let alone add to bunnies to the mix! About two weeks before her birthday, she started begging for baby stuff. We can do that!
All grown up starting with the card first!
The crib is from Grandma and Grandpa Geiger and the doll is from us.
She wanted a diaper bag and all the accessories.
Playing with the shoes!
Marissa's other birthday request was that Grace could come over and spend the night. It was both Marissa's and Grace's first sleepover. All three of them had a blast!
Cake time! (Grandma Geiger made the cake)
Best Friends
Grandma Geiger's version of kid's size pieces!
Watching a short movie before bed
Night time snack...CHEESE!
I told them to close their eyes and go to sleep...
...Then Grace starts snoring! LOL
I thought it was going to be a night of no sleep, but by 9:30 they were all out. I didn't hear any noises until 7am the next morning. They did really good! Madalyn has already "claimed" Grace for her birthday in a couple weeks! LOL I think the three of them are going to grow up being pretty special friends!
