Gimme' 5!

The T-ster is 5. A whole handful of fingers. Here are a few scenes from her big day. Well, days really. We spread the celebration out this year. Why not?

A morning at the splash-pad. Monkeying around.
Dinner at Olive Garden. (Mom forgot the camera!)

An evening with chocolate cake and squiggle candles. Check out Roo's jealous face! (I always let the all the children in attendance blow out their very own flame on a cupcake after the birthday kid gets her glory.)

Sparklers. And snappy, jumping garbonzo beans from Mexico that no doubt kept the neighbors up, and littered the patio with debris.

New night dress from Grandma Norr.

I love you darling Talia. My Goose, my baby divine, my blondie, my 'big one'. Happy 5th birthday sweet kid. I am so glad that you are my girlfriend.

KISS, KISS!
