FIVE!

This little chickadee... MRM Five
...turned...
FIVE
...today!
We have been celebrating it since Sunday! MR & LuLu
We had our families over Sunday night for a dinner celebrating Mary Reese and Granny LuLu's Birthdays. The menu included their favorites: fried chicken and catfish, mac and cheese, creamed corn and lima beans. For dessert...
family cakes
Strawberry cupcakes with pink cream cheese icing and a caramel cake!
Tuesday afternoon she traded her flip flops in for the season for these new weather-appropriate kicks… new kicks
For those of you who know her know that putting those flip flops away for the winter is HUGE! I still haven't convinced her to wear socks but at least Jack Frost won't be nipping at her toes!

This morning we measured her on the basement door frame...
1 inch
...she has grown an inch since last year!

Today she celebrated with her class at school. Jody delivered them a pizza to share at lunchtime. She also took a tray of confetti cupcakes with pick buttercream icing {not sure if the 10 boys in her class will dig the pink icing but her and Bentley sure did}!
school cakes
Then we bagged up Rice Krispie Treats in the shape of a 5 for her friends to take home…
school favors

Tonight she picked one of her favorite restaurants to go to for dinner… brick
Happy 5th Birthday Mary Reese!

I hope you had the best day ever, MR! I'm loving the new shoes. Don't think I've ever seen you without your flops, so if I do a double take, you'll have to excuse me! :) What a fun, fun day it looks like you had! And will you send your mom to my house, Miss Priss, so she can rub off on me? Thanks!
