This January our baby girl turned five years old. This was a big birthday for her. She had been waiting to turn five so she could start school. If it were up to her she would have started kindergarten that very day but alas that is not how it works. She thought it was a great injustice that she would have to wait another 7 months to begin going to kindergarten. We decided to take Hailey and Alec to Chuck E Cheese for lunch. It has become sort of a tradition to take them to Chuck E Cheese for their birthdays.

Alec was more interested in playing the games but Hailey liked to ride on all of the rides. After we were done at Chuck E Cheese we went to head home so that I could get her gifts ready. I had her convinced that the trip was her present and she wasn't getting anything else for her birthday. Later that evening we had dinner and then had cake. I decided to be a little untraditional and get a cookie cake instead of a regular cake. Hailey was a big fan.
While she was eating her cake I snuck her gifts into the living room. She was extremely surprised that she had presents to open!

The day was a huge success. She enjoyed all of her cards and gifts and had a fantastic 5th birthday. Our little girl is growing up so fast!
