Megan Turns 5!

On Wednesday, September 17, Megan turned the ripe old age of 5. We had a great time celebrating her bithday this year. We started out by having a little "Beading Bash" on Sunday with her friends at the local craft store, Ben Franklin. They were kind enough to let me reserve their classroom so I could rest assured that my little ones would not be choking on beads! And thanks to my mom for hanging out with the babies so I could make this happen. After the beading, we went to Megan's favorite place, McDonald's, where the girls ate happy meals, enjoyed cupcakes, and watched Megan open her gifts. She loves every gift and actually spends time playing with her new stuff. On Wednesday, I made Megan her favorite breakfast, pancakes, which she usually only gets on a weekend day. Then she chose to bring doughnut holes to her class for treats. That night, we went to Applebees for dinner, her other favorite restaurant, where we had some great food and enjoyed a night out. She couldn't wait to get home and open her gifts, as any 5 year old would feel. She was happy about getting a certificate to finally get a fish, and she liked her new book and horse stable as well! All in all, it was a great birthday for her. It's hard to believe she is already 5! Time sure flies :-)
