Happy Birthday Lydia

Tomorrow my sweet Lydia will turn 5 years old. I just cannot believe it. She is growing up so fast. Dave and I have been reminiscing with her all week about the night she was born. She was born on a Monday night at 6:22. A ton of family was at the hospital waiting on her with us. After being in active labor for about 5 hours, she was born. Dave and I cried like babies as we stared into her eyes. We thought she was the most beautiful baby we had ever seen. We were so scared but she made it easy for us. She was the best baby, she was very easy going. I cannot remember what we did before we had her. She makes us laugh everyday. I love that she is so much like Dave but yet so much like me too. She is very loving and caring. She constantly tells us that she loves us and loves her little sister more than I could have imagined. I feel so lucky to be her mom.

Today was her party. She wanted a Sweet n Sassy party. I told her she could pick 3 friends. She decided on Jade, Keaton and Riley. I asked Annie and Kathryn to go with me for the extra help. After eating pizza at Cici's we had birthday cake. Miss Darlene made the cake again this year. It was pink and purple with real makeup on it, Lydia loved it. Then it was time for the makeovers. They started with their hair, then nails and finally makeup. There were not many other girls in the store so Lydia and her friends were able to walk the runway as many times as they wanted. They had a blast. After an hour and a half, it was time to go. As we were walking out of the store, we seen a lady dressed as Snow White. Of course we had their picture taken with her! Overall it was a really fun day. Jade was quite and shy, Keaton asked many questions, Riley talked from the time we picked her up until the time we dropped her off. And Lydia enjoyed being in the spotlight for the day! Lydia told me tonight that it was the best birthday party ever, that's always a good sign!
