Happy Birthday Alys!

Our little girl turns 5! It was a festive birthday week for Alys, full of birthday activities and family and friends to enjoy it with. It was crazy for Mom but I think she enjoyed it. Since her dance recital was on Monday we had family over to help celebrate. That made her recital extra special since she got flowers for her recital, rice krispie treats and gifts for her birthday. On Wednesday, the 13th which is actually her birthday she had school. So, we made a krispie treat flower bouquet to enjoy with her classmates. That was a lot of fun.
We also celebrated with her that evening and she got a new bike and helmet. She was so excited and couldn't wait to get on and try it out. The funny thing about her birthday was that I asked her if there were any special meals that she wanted on her birthday and she said pancakes.... Pancakes for breakfast, pancakes for lunch and yes, pancakes for dinner! I think we had pink, blue and green pancakes. Needless to say I don't think we had pancakes for a while after that.On Friday, she wanted to do something fun with a few friends. We went to "Artist for a Day" and they painted some cute little ceramics. They had fun and she got to share her Tinkerbell cake with them. I'm so glad you had a great birthday Alys.
