Our baby turns 5!

It's hard to believe my baby has turned 5. The time has gone too fast and now we have this beautiful little girl. Well actually a 5 year old going on 15. ( It's all in the attitude.) Kiera was lucky this year as she celebrated her birthday 3 times. The first was at school. Since she it was a school day on her birthday I made cupcakes for the class.


They sang happy birthday and evern went outside for games and a picnic. While Kiera was at school Ron, Grandpa and I set up Kieras birthday gift - a trampoline. We picked her up from school, riley hide her eyes and we got her out of the car to surprise her. She was happy but not really surprised.




The kids jumped around for a while then came in for Kiera to open presents. For her birthday supper Kiera decide to have pizza. So after eating crystal, lee and katie came over for cupcakes and more presents.




Then on Saturday we had Kieras birthday party. For her birthday Kiera wanted a lot of friends from school so we agreed to 8 friends. We also decided to have a butterfly/fairy party. Kiera was thrilled. I had her party outside since the weather was finally cooperating. We set the patio tables/umbrellas up and hung butterflys and balloons from them. Then I decorated the deck with streamers. I decided not have a party where luch was served so instead we had it at 1:30 and served snacks, cake and ice cream. I find the kids never eat their food anyway. As the girls arrived I painted butterflies on their faces.

Next the girls (and Riley) were given flower pots to paint and later to plant pansies. When they were done Ron watched the kids on the trampoline. Then it was time to do our scavenger hunt. Ron and I hide foam flowers with the girls names on them so it was their job to collect 4 flowers each. But before they could begin, I gave each girl a set of butterfly wings, and a butterfly net to collect their flowers. Once they finished we headed back up to have cake, and ice cream. I made Kiera a butterfly cake just the way she wanted it.

After cake we went down on the grass to open presents, and then back to the playstructure to do the pinata.

The pinata was a hit. Actually they didn't need to hit it as it was a pull string. And luckily everyone had a chance to pull a string and it was the last one pulled that opened it. Before we knew it the parents were here to pick up their kids. The time flew bye, and everyone had a great time.
