Kali's 5th Birthday!

What happened to the last 5 years and how did my baby Kali all of sudden turn 5?? She has been waiting for this day for the whole last year...seriously, the day she turned 4 she couldn't wait to be 5! And it has come and gone with lots of fun celebrations with our family. November 3rd is her actual birthday but last weekend we celebrated Kali and her cousin Justin Capell's 5th birthday with the whole Stacy family and we had a great time with all the family here. My kids always LOVE having Justin and Jordan come for a visit and it was even better that Auntie Sheila, Uncle Jeff and Grandma and Grandpa Stacy could come too! Kali also had a soccer game that afternoon and Grandma and Grandpa were happy to come along and cheer our Kali on...even though they lost pretty bad and it pretty much rained the whole time. So that explains half the pics with Kali in her soccer uniform with wet messed up hair, oh well. :) Here are some pics from our Saturday celebrations:

Thanks Mema and Grandpa Brown for the new books and cute outfit, and Jasmine princess doll(not pictured)!!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Stacy for all the fun crafts and scissors! Kali seriously uses them EVERY day!!!

Kali loves her cousins! Thanks Justin and Jordan for the pink stick horsey!!

We decided to get Kali this awesome doll house from Costco that totally works for Barbies too and she LOVES it!! Pretty much everything we get Kali at this point is an investment for us since there are two more girls that they will get passed down to! :) Gotta think ahead!

NOV. 3rd- The morning of Kali's actual birthday she requested pancakes and Mark decided to get a little creative...Kali loved it and I'm pretty sure she was feeling pretty special :) We gave her just one more little present to open on her birthday too. I'm still not sure why Zhu-Zhu pets are so exciting but she was pretty excited to get one along with some lip gloss and nail polish.

After school I took Kali to Chickfila with a couple friends to celebrate and unfortunately didn't get any pics of that little celebration. Kali's final request for her birthday was to go to Chuck E. Cheese's for dinner. I didn't want to pay for or plan a big party this year because those of you who know me, know how much I love planning parties...soooo we decided to make it a family party and had the Hinson's meet us there. It was a perfect, non busy night to go and turned out to be super low key and fun for all!!










And our birthday celebrations wouldn't be complete without our FREE ice cream from Cold Stone!

We just so happen to have 3 birthdays pretty close together so it totally works out to make a fun family night of free ice cream! YUMM!!!!
