Big M Turns Five!!

Another year has passed and Big M has grown and changed. She is now five!! It's hard to believe she'll finish pre-K before long and will be heading off to Kindergarten next year. Each year seems to fly by just a little faster, but one thing is for sure...she's still such a sweetheart and loving daughter.

We had a small party with a few of her school friends at Michael's Arts and Crafts store this year. All of the girls had a fun time painting and decorating a wooden purse-shaped box to store their little treasures in.

Little M received a little help painting her box from Big M's friend, Marin.

On Big M's actual birthday, we took her and a friend ice skating. Neither of the girls had ice skated before. It was slow going at first, but both girls got the hang of it before long and seemed to really enjoy it. It had been a long time since Charley and I had ice skated...it took as a little time to get the hang of it again too!

The birthday celebration weekend was a ton of fun. It's hard to believe our little five year old has grown up. While I miss some of her baby days, she's sure a special girl that's been a blessing to our family. Happy Birthday Big M!
