In the holiday hubbub, I never got a chance to post the holiday birthday girls' pictures.
My Christmas baby has been a handful for as long as she has been born, but now she is quite literally a handful of years.
Where did these five years go?
It's always a challenge, with her birthday so close to Christmas, to make Ineke's birthday special on its' own.
She winds up usually getting handmade things for her birthday.
I had intentions of making her a unicorn dress and doll which were NEARLY foiled because my sewing machine stopped working.
Thankfully, my sister in law had one I could borrow, very last minute, to get through the birthday and Christmas gift-making. She really saved the day!
Corynn made her a little sloth ornament since Ineke has always been our 'slothie' girl.
Her requested meal was homemade PLAIN CHEESE PIZZA.
(Even though we have homemade pizza and a movie every Friday night!)
She got her own heart-shaped one, which she thought was pretty neat.
As you can see, she also got some balloons. Birthdays are getting fancy!
A unicorn loving girl needs a unicorn cake.
A sourpatch candy loving girl needs one with a sour ribbon mane.
Grandma and Grandpa know the way to this girls' heart- a ballerina tutu and BLING! And it just so happened to match her dress.
On a side note: I FINALLY used up the last of that crazy rainbow yarn! It seemed to go on forever!
She is spunky and sweet and wholly delightful.
A friend recently called Ineke 'vivacious' and I realized that is just the perfect word to describe her.
I've loved watching you grow, Babycakes, and I can't wait to see more!
She is so adorable! And you are so creative! Hard to believe she's five years old, the time just flies by. Your children are going to have so many happy memories of growing up; they will rise up and call you blessed.
ReplyDeleteVery hard to believe, Rozy. I don't know how they keep growing and growing and I just keep staying the same! ;-)
