The Princess is 5!!

 My beautiful girl is 5 years old today!! How did that happen?! 

 This goof ball got to celebrate at school the day before. She was pretty excited for her awesome crown :)

 For the royal princess birthday we had sprinkle pancakes with LOTS of whip cream!! Yum!

Then a little balloon party with the brothers before Cole had to go to school:

 Ellie just wanted a playdate with some friends for her birthday so Hailey, Austin and Hazel came over to play and have a cupcake:

 Right after the playdate we picked up Cole and had lunch at McDonald's (no pics, it was way too crowded because her birthday happened to land on the High School's Homecoming day, which is a BIG deal in Washington!)

Elise was so excited that we got to walk in the Homecoming Parade with the cub scouts! I was happy my kids wanted to throw candy instead of collect it. It was fun, but it wore Dax right out :)

Ellie was SO patient and waited all day to open her presents so Daddy would home to see. As usual, the little princess was spoiled :)

 Her favorite presents were the Elsa dress (from Frozen) and the karaoke machine with Disney Princess and Frozen songs. The kids didn't know what karaoke was at first, but they picked up on it fast and had a blast!!

 After the whole Frozen CD Dax had had enough :)

 Ellie wanted a bright pink cake with flowers on it. She's pretty easy to please :) 

Ellie's last request for her birthday was to go to the high school Homecoming football game. She may have been brainwashed by her Daddy and big brother :) So we walked over to the football stadium to watch the Washington Panthers crush the Rockets!! (No pics again. It was so crowded that there was barely standing room. Football, especially at Homecoming, is a big deal when you live in a small town!)

Happy birthday to my sweet, sassy, funny, witty, cuddly, generous, kind, amazing, beautiful little girl!! Love you to the moon and back!!
