Happy happy birthday!

Somebody LOVES their birthday! (and yes I know she may have inherited that quality from her mother, but hey... is that really a bad thing to love?!) Eden grew to the old age of five on Friday and we are barely recovering from the blast of birthday events we had :) We started out with a family bike ride at the park (we love our new bikes and are getting some good exercise as of late)Any person riding rides on their birthday gets to ride on the train for free, so we hit up the rides.The girlies had so so so much fun. And my favorite part is that they HAD to take their kittens, Snowball and Snowflake (poor little sister always gets stuck with second best. Eden named her kitty first, therefore, delia's is named the next best thing.... Snowflake)
When they rode on the jetski ride, they stuffed the kitties underneath them and sat on them to keep them safe. Why the heck did Santa bring the girls new bikes when they were COMPLETELY happy with white toy kitties? (way easier for the elves to make and probably cheaper to ship on the sleigh)(note their kitties under their arms) Eden had a birthday dinner and was so excited for her cake. Her Grandma Lainey was quite the entertainer as she grew up (this might be where Eden gets it from) and she has taught Eden to always pose for the camera like this:We LOVE Eden and couldn't have chosen a better big sister for our family. She is my best helper around the house, with delia, and thinking of others first :)

Some things Eden really loves right now:
playing pretend, especially when she gets to head up the storyline :)
her amazing preschool and teacher Miss Leah
strawberries
drawing pictures: high heels, fancy dresses, details right down to rings on fingers and eyebrows
learning how to ride her bike better than ever
plain brocolli
playing polly pockets for hours with delia
taking pictures
telling you things that she knows but you don't know about bubble gum
her loose tooth

Oh Earbug... you are growing up too fast! But I am so proud of the big girl you are growing to be! I know you will love this next year as you are five years old. So many changes in starting school, learning independence, reading, making new friends and really discovering who you are and what you are about!
