On October 9th, we celebrated Sydney's 5th birthday. I straightened her hair in the morning, then she had preschool, she played outside with Ruth, we went to Red Robin for dinner, and then family came over to celebrate with Barbie cakes!
| Making Ruth laugh outside. What a fun sight for a mom to see when she looks out her window! |
| She wanted to take a picture with Red. |
| Ruth enjoyed her first restaurant experience. |
| Wes was really good at making Ruth laugh. |
| A smile for her treat. |
| Sydney's Barbie cakes. The pink and purple ones are from Barbie Princess and the Popstar. The big one is blue because that is her new favorite color. |
| I'm not sure why Sydney wanted to pose like this... She had decided she wanted to put on her Aurora dress for the party though. |
| The happy birthday song. In the background: Aunt Jennie holding Ruth, Aunt Megan holding Ike, Brian holding Ruby and Lydia sitting next to Sydney. |
| Aunt Jennie with Ruth. |
| Wes showing her the present he got for her. |
| Sibling hugs! |
| (Blurry) Kisses for Ruth! |
| One of her gifts was a girls' day out with me, her aunts, and girl cousins to go see Disney Princesses on Ice. |
| And the day ended with half-eaten Barbie cakes. |
