Look at this grown up girl! She is now 5, something she's been aspiring to for quite awhile.
We got home from the hospital with Anna around 10 p.m. and put on our game faces for the next day's birthday celebration. We'd been making some plans for the past while and if you know 5 year-olds they don't like changes in their plans. So we followed through. Cyrena was so happy. She wanted to open presents right away. Luckily I had things wrapped and ready to go. We let her open 1 (the shirt she's wearing in the pic) then Dad took her to the store and let her pick out some fun breakfast items.
The girls are so lucky to have such a super Dad. He was amazing and helped make Cyrena's birthday really special. After breakfast the girls got ready and he took them to see 'Tangled' at the theater--what a treat! Then they came home and while Natalie napped and I worked on the cake, he and Cyrena put together the Gingerbread train kit we'd bought last week. After Natalie woke up we let Cyrena open up all her gifts and then we headed to Joe's Farm Grill (they take $10 off when it's your birthday) for a tasty dinner! We met up with the McKays and brought the pony cake for dessert.
I think the birthday was a success. She had high expectations that were definitely met, yay! She's such a special girl.
She requested a pony cake. Thankfully we'd bought the supplies last week so Dad and Mom worked together to make it happen!

*She still lets mom pick her clothes everyday but voices her preference of jeans and a polo shirt
*Sings while she's going to the bathroom, washing her hands, making her bed, doing schoolwork, cleaning up, and hums while she's brushing her teeth
*Makes her bed every morning without being asked 90% of the time
*Loves her stuffed animals and still sleeps with some
*"I don't know" is a completely unacceptable answer to her endless questions
*Started soccer with dad as her coach
*Can't wait to go to school 'in a building'

Happy Birthday Cyrena!!! She is too sweet! I love how grown she is and such an old soul! Love the costco sample worker!! hahaha
Happy Birthday to a wonderful girl who was my best primary singer. I need her voice!
Anna looks so itsy bitsy in Cyrena's arms. I want to come see her!
Cutest Cake!! What a wonder woman!
Porter says, "Happy Birthday Cyrena"! And he keeps inquiring why there was a 5 on her cake?! Shouldn't it be obvious? I guess, not when you are 5! Looks like she had a fun day!
She is an angel and we just love her. So glad we could spend part of her birthday with your guys!!!
I tell you after having #3 you can do amazing things you never though you could do... and looks like you did just that!!
Happy Birthday Cyrena! Glad you were prepared ahead of time so it was a success!
Happy Birthday Cyrena!!! It seems like just yesterday she was born!!! Congrats on your new little arrival too--she's beautiful and I love, love, love her name!!! Our computer is dead, so I am so far behind on everything!!! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
I'm so behind on my commenting. My favorites are that Cyrena wants to be a Costco sample worker, that she sings whatever she's doing, and that she's excited to go to school "in a building". Very cute little girl you've got.
