Bubble Baths, Barbie Houses and Other Birthday Excitement

E turned 5 years old today! I cannot believe I have a 5 year old. She is too precious and makes me smile everyday (smile and pull my hair out *wink*). To celebrate, we decided to just have a family birthday party this year because we just moved and have not made a ton of new friends in our new area yet, and it is too far to drive for our friends where we used to live. E wanted to have a Tinkerbell party, so we made Tink cupcakes and we had Tink plates for her. We spent the morning relaxing and watching cartoons while M put together the new Cozy Country Doll House by Imaginarium that we got for E. She was so excited and was helping him put it together. I worked on E's birthday cupcakes while they worked on the house together. It was relaxing and slow paced.

After the doll house was together, we got the kids ready for the day by giving them a bubble bath in the big tub in mommy and daddy's room. They love it in our tub. They love how the jets make lots and lots of bubbles. It is so cute to watch them giggling and splashing and having a blast. They are SO messy in the tub, but it is worth it to see their cute smiles. I could not help but take a couple pictures they were just so cute! *okay enough mommy bragging*

E decided she wanted to have cupcakes and chicken strips for dinner. Weird choice, but I decided we could get some chicken from KFC -- we got that and E wanted cheese and we had E's yummy cupcakes and she got to open some presents.

Here E contemplated her wish before blowing out the candles.


Eating cupcakes and the whole cupcake display.
