Happy Birthday Lainey!

Lainey is five!  


She was the 2nd youngest in her class this year and has been anxiously waiting for her birthday for at least 3-4 months!  Her birthday was on Father's Day this year, for the first time.  We celebrated Victor yesterday, so Lainey was the star all day today.

We let her open presents first thing in the morning.  Her presents were primarily a set of bitty twins (from American girl) along with a few accessories..  She loves her bitty baby and I thought the school age bitty twins would be loved as well.  So far she seems to like them.




I told the kids to make funny faces and 
this is what Erik did.  Ha!

We held Lainey's birthday party at a local art studio.  
It was a Frozen themed painting party.
Someone, much more talented than I, drew out a Frozen themed-canvas which the
kids then painted.  There were also easels set up in the adjacent room with water colors. 
All but one of the friends that were able to come were from 
Lainey's pre-k class.  She had such a wonderful class this year.



 All ready to paint!

 Below is my friend Meredith
She loves holding Kyle.
This photo cracks me up because Kyle looks quite a bit like her.
 Erik was pretty sure he didn't want to participate in a Frozen painting party.
So, he designated himself as helper.  He was a good helper, albeit a tad bossy (first born trait).
Towards the end of the party he decided to paint a picture himself.

 Waiting for cake

It was a fun day for my precious daughter!
May she always know how much she is loved.
