Sophie's 5th Birthday

On December 17th 2011, Sophie Adair was born.  

She was a big (8lb 12oz), cute, perfect baby girl.

 Then she turned into a nap-loving, sassy, fun little girl.

Now she's a loving, smart, beautiful five year old!

A few months back, the end of September, Sophie got to go on an early birthday date with Grandpa Kent and Grandma Suzy before they headed off on their mission.  She went to Noodles and Company and then picked out a My Little Pony boat for her present.

Today was her actual birthday.  She picked to go see Moana as a family.  We also invited Maren, Tim, Charlotte, Lorelai, Nana and Grandpa to go with us.

 She loved getting a few presents at the theater.  Some more little toy dogs to play with!

 She also wanted to see Santa and the reindeer, but the line for Santa was very long, so we decided to just go visit a few of his reindeer.

 

 Then we went to Burger King for dinner.  Sophie wanted to go somewhere with a play-ground.  However, hardly anyone was hungry after filling up on popcorn and soda all afternoon at the movie.  Sophie only ate one bite of her hamburger.

After dinner we headed home to finish up a few of our Saturday chores and Lily made the cake for Sophie's birthday.  Sophie really wanted to open her presents, but was being very patient until we were ready.

 Her cake turned out pretty good and Lily made a big S out of chocolate sprinkles and Sophie put on the 5 candle Nana and Grandpa had given her.

 We sang and Sophie blew out the candles.

 Then she opened her presents.  The kids gave her a cozy "Trolls" sweatshirt.

 She LOVED all of her presents!  And said it was the best birthday ever!

 

I can't believe my baby is no longer a baby.

Last night when I peaked in on Sophie after she'd fallen asleep, I got a bit teary-eyed knowing my baby was turning 5!  It's a bitter-sweet day for me.  We are so glad Sophie's a part of our family!

Here are five things I love most about Sophie:

1. She loves to play with her toys either by herself or with friends and has a great imagination.

2. She is very animated when she talks and loves to learn new things.

3. She is a mama's girl and is my constant buddy, and she is adored by her siblings.

4.  She gives great hugs and kisses.

5. She is a joy to be around and makes our family complete.

Happy Birthday Sophie!
