Farrah turned Five!!!

She's five and she's as spunky as ever.  She loves to wake up as soon as I do (because she falls asleep in our bed and wakes up sometime after we have moved her to her own bed to lay by my side), play all day long but asks for someone to play with her, shower like a big girl, eat off big plates and drink out of big glasses, and never stops going all day long.



You can bet money she will ask each day if we can eat in the living room and if she can "snuggle" with Daddy (which means fall asleep in our bed).  She gets excited to have a soda at lunch time, and she carries around an old phone of mine like it is attached to her.  She loves watching princess movies and acting as if she is the same princess, or ballerina when watching Leap.

Farrah cares so much about how other people (and animals) feel.  She is oftentimes telling me, "You do a really good job parenting, Mommy." and tells me I did a good job and that she knows I'm trying my best.  She is so extremely thoughtful and caring.  My heart is so full.  She's so beautiful inside and out.  She has some temper tantrums and can be impatient, but her mind is always so full of ideas and planning that I understand why she gets frustrated at times.  She is so ready to be grown up, but also wants to live with us forever and says she will never let anything to ever happen to us!

For her birthday, she got an Elsa dress, shoes, and accessories, a mini Elsa/Anna/Kristoff/Sven/Olaf doll set, DIY bracelet kit, and some cute clothes from us.  She got a Travel Barbie set from Nana and Papa McCoy, sparkly white Crocs from Grandma and Grandpa Brooks, a cute outfit and some athletic clothes (including tall socks and a sports bra!) from Aunt Kimberly and Cousin McCoy, a sprinkler and bubble gun from her friend Fayeth, and a lava lamp lip gloss kit from Lindsay and Lunden.

She had wanted a friend over for quite some time and we told her she could for her birthday.  Turns out, Lindsay and Kimberly both happened to be home during her birthday week, so it turned out to be a fun Sparkly Unicorn, Magical birthday party for our BIG 5 Year Old.  She loved having a day that was all about her!  We had a lot of colorful candy snacks and Casey's pizza, and the kids played with water balloons and had a lot of fun together.

(They say to each other: "I love you."  "I love you more."  "Impossible."  "Nothing's impossible."

I fished with her for a couple hours on her actual birthday and it was so much fun.  She loves fishing, she knows all the fishing lingo, and she is really good at it!  She caught 3 and I caught 1!  That's what she wanted for her birthday dinner (after Daddy's persuasive idea): fish, tater tots, and garden salad!
