Kimberly's Birthday

Today was Kimberly's big 5 year old birthday. I can't believe my first born is 5 years old. The years go by so fast. Kimberly asked me today how do I know that she is 5 years old. I got to tell her I know because I gave birth to her. Then her Grampie and I told her how long that day we had to wait for her to be born (24 hrs from the time my water broke to when she came out vie emergency c-section).

Kimberly was excited for her birthday the second she woke up. We surprised her with fake balloons on her bed. The fake balloons are because Kimberly is not fond of real balloons. She is so afraid of them popping. So she begged me not to have real balloons so I made fake balloons with colored paper and ribbon. She loved them. After we got her ready for her day, we finished decorating the house by making 5's to put on the windows.

Kimberly was lucky to have her Grampie Toomer come spend the day with her. Unfortunately her Grammie Toomer was in Texas spending time with Mere-Mere (that story is another blog another time). Kimberly had so much fun with her Grampie. They got to have their favorite Chinese food for lunch. Grampie got to meet all her friends at her party. Grampie is probably glad he only had one child after the full house of kids we had here.

Kimberly invited 7 of her friends and cousins to come spend an hour and have a party. We played stick the doggie on the fire truck (similiar to pin the tail on the donkey). Then Kimberly opened her presents from her friends. Then they all got to blow out a candle in their cupcake after they sang happy birthday to Kimberly. After messy cupcakes and ice cream cones, the kids got to play with a pinata. They make them now where you don't have to beat them to break. You can just pull on the strings and the right string breaks open the bottom of the pinata. The only down fall was the 3rd kid found the right string so the other kids didn't get a chance to try and open the pinata. But they got candy and that made it all better. It was a lot of fun but wow... glad it is done.

Then Kimberly got to open presents from her Grandma and Grandpa Peterson, Grammie and Grampie Toomer, and mom and dad. She was so happy with everything she got. I think her favorite present of the day was her Hannah Montana guitar from Grammie and Grampie. She hasn't put it down all night. Daddy is going to have Hannah Montana stuck in his head all night at work. haha.

Overall it was a fun day. Matthew had a ball with all of sissy's friends and toys. He even got a guitar from Grammie and Grampie that plays music (leap frog). He didn't get his usual nap and boy he is tuckered tonight. I am so happy my daughter is growing up. I do hope another year older means she will grow up and lose some of her attitude. haha.

Below is some of the pictures from her birthday. Hope you enjoy.
Blessings to all until I return.
