After months of waiting, Amity is finally five! On Saturday, she went to the movies with Dennis and then went to pick out her main birthday present, a new bike!
She is still gaining confidence and does not like to go fast (at all!) but she is making progress.
She picked out her entire menu for birthday meals. Saturday night's family birthday party with GG and KK and the Connells included meat-a-loaf (her pronunciation), macaroni and cheese, cooked carrots and broccoli, watermelon, and pink lemonade.
These four never seem to lack for conversation and fun.
This was birthday cake #1 for this weekend and another one is due from Aunt Becky in a few weeks when the Grovers are in town.
Enjoying her new gifts from the Connells
On the morning of her birthday, we had the traditional birthday pancake but she had requested that we all have our age in pancake. That included a couple of 7s and lots of 3s. After making many mistakes, I told her that from now on, just the birthday person gets their number!
She woke up early to go to the bathroom. My parents wished her "Happy Birthday" but she told them that she wasn't five yet. Apparently, she thinks her birthday has not arrived until we burst through her door with the birthday pancake. Isn't it funny how these traditions evolve?
Happy birthday, precious Amity! These five years have flown by and you have made each day brighter and sweeter. Thank you for making us parents. We are so grateful God created you to be ours!
