Ashleigh's 5th birthday party at the park!

For about the last 100 days I was asked every day, "is this my birthday? Is today my birthday? When is my birthday?" She said, "everyone at school is 5, am I never going to be that number?" She was almost the youngest in her class, so the moments leading up to her official birthday celebration were filled with great anticipation!

let's get this party started!

I'm having fun Mama!

Wee! I love this sliding thing!

After playing we decided to have some refreshments. Who needs plates? Everyone just ate out of the bowls.

Happy Birthday to Ashleigh!

Look at me, I'm finally 5. Yay!!!

thanks for the presents!!!

After cake we decorated our own goody bags using stickers & crayons. Then everyone's favorite part, we went shopping for candy & toys!

Thanks to all of my friends for coming! Turning 5 was so much fun!

Next we're off to Aunt Stacy's for another family celebration with our Tennessee family....what a busy day!

Ashleigh's 5th birthday party at Grandpa's & Granny's

Ashleigh is definitely treated like a royal princess at Grandpa's. We had a birthday feast, then her favorite, cherry cheesecake pie AND a birthday cake! Who gets 2 birthday cakes at the same party...that would be Ashleigh. We opened presents & played & played & played. Julia even received a gift. Stewart played on Granny's computer & her HIGH SPEED INTERNET. Yes it's available in Warrenton :). Grandpa had a great time, too. It's great to see him "light up" so around them.
