Turning five is an exciting thing. I've always considered five to be a bright line marker between baby and big kid, so I guess my sweet girl has made the leap to big kid. No turning back from here!
 |
| In the months leading up the big day, Claudia settled on a "pink and dinosaur" themed party. I made the cake at about 2 am the morning of the party. It looked a lot better in the dark, but it did taste pretty good! |
 |
| To celebrate this milestone birthday, she requested a dinosaur dig. With some help I was able to turn our garden camp fire pit into a dino dig site. It took about twenty bags of sand and a bunch of "fossils" I ordered online. Weeks later, it is still keeping the kids entertained. |
 |
| Claudia had a pretty great time celebrating with all her little gal pals. |
 |
| I managed to get the "magic" candles that continuously relight themselves... which proved to be not so magical when I nearly set the kitchen trash can on fire. |
 |
| They called themselves members of the "Five Year Old Girls Club Who Make Soap." They were turning flowers and hand soap into ... soap. :) |
 |
| Claudia's dino pictures made a perfect birthday banner. |

It was a most happy birthday for my dino-loving, soap-making, super big five year old girl!
Oh, Claudia, you light up my days, sweet angel! |
 |
Happy birthday to you, sweet C. I love you to pieces! xo, Mommy |
Happy birthday, Claudia! It looked like you had a great party! I agree with you Meryl, five is definitely 'big kid' territory. I think it was a great idea to make a dinosaur dig, it looks fab! Enjoy the rest of your week. :)
