This week has been full of celebrating my daughters 5th birthday!  She is my baby girl and the amazing little sparkle in my life.  I know one day she will know how much she means to me and how much I love her.  She is a little one that well we never thought we could have and one that well I have protected and loved from the moment I found out about her.  She is just so precious to me and I just can't believe that she is growing up so fast.  She is just so cute to watch with all her little friends.  I love how she met each one with a hug and just loved on each one like they were each so special to her.  I didn't have to teach her that she just knows that each person is special and that she loves each one for their own things and I just love that.  She is just so sweet and her smile and laugh just lights up a room.  

It was so fun this week to have her birthday party which she wanted to go bowling with her little friends.  They got to have cake and an ice cream sunday bar too.  It was such a fun day.  After that we took her to a mall and they had a few guys playing music for the mall and well she was in her new princess Belle dress outfit and she started to dance for everyone in the mall.  It was just precious.  Then after a bit we took her to Godiva to get a chocolate dipped strawberry.  We all know girls love the good stuff and to be spoiled on their birthday's.  

Then on her actual birthday we took her out to get her hair done, to dinner where she got ice cream and they sang to her happy birthday in Italian, and we then went to Build-a-Bear.  Then we took her to a little candy shop to get a fun-dip (or lick-m-aid) as some of us remember them as.  Then she talked her daddy into going to Godivia's for more chocolate strawberries.  

It was a wonderful and perfect way to have a week full of celebrating her birthday!
