"I am a full hand now!"

Ashlynn is officially five and she told us that she is now a full hand now! (Not sure where she came up with that saying) She has been waiting so long for her birthday. She could hardly wait for the day to come. We had a full day of activities and things to do on her day, but as far as she knows the whole day was hers. We started the day by getting her 'happy birthday' song from her grandpa Tom and then we took her out to breakfast and then we signed papers for our new house (details in another later post).

Then it was off to her girl glamour party. Ashlynn wanted to have a makeover party and I just am not creative enough to pull it off. So, I found a beauty school that solved the problem. They painted the girls toe and finger nails and did a stylish up do. These girls had a blast sitting in the salon chairs. It was the cutest thing watching them talk to the stylist and each other. After the girls were all glamoured up we went out for ice cream and opened presents from her friends.

Next up we had pizza, cake and more ice cream with family and neighborhood friends at home. Then we ended the day watching Carter's baseball game. Which turned out to be pleasant evening, no wind, rain or snow to deal with. What a day, but definitely a good day!

We just love this girl and are so thankful that she is part of our family. I am going to miss her around the house when she has to go to school everyday. She makes me laugh and is my biggest helper and makes sure we stay on schedule of things we have to do that day. She is such a big girl now!
