Party Weekend

My baby is 5!!! On Feb 1 our little one turned the big, huge 5. Man do I feel old. She had a great birthday weekend. Because her birthday was on Sunday we did a lot of it on Saturday.

No this is not a torture device. It is an ear piercing thing. Paige has been asking me for about 6 months if she could get her ears pierced. Well we thought maybe that would be a great birthday present and it was only $6. So after pleading and bribing her with many, many things I finally had to sneak up behind her and pierce them. She freaked after the first one but was fine after the second.
When she freaked out the first time I started crying and thinking what did I do to my poor baby. It was sad.

When we were all done I asked her if she was glad that I had just done it. She got the biggest smile on her face and said "Oh ya I am mom" I am glad because then my guilt was alleviated.






And what is worse than getting an ice cream as a consolation prize?








After the torture session we headed over to Chuck E Cheese's and had fun playing around. The girls loved it. We rounded out the day by going to McDonald's and then home to watch a movie.






I think Rylee's favorite part was getting to hold her own cup of tokens and putting them in the games.







On her actual birthday we just had 2 friends and their families over for dinner and to help us celebrate.


It was a great end to a great birthday weekend. Oh and somewhere in there she got to open some really fun presents from her parents and grandparents and aunts.
