5 years big today!

Today is my lovely girl's 5th birthday!

Her "golden" birthday as I've heard some say. Meaning that she turns 5 on the 5th :) I like to think each of her birthdays are golden and will continue to be!

Dear Nugget,

Today you are 5. Everyday you amaze me with something new and entertaining. Your favorite things are pink, pink and well more pink. Anything girlie and sparkly is something you adore and you LOVE doing hair, nails and makeup. My true girlie girl. You've mastered so many things this year; shoe tying, bubble blowing and finger snapping. Every time I turn around you are doing something more grown up and big.

I remember your birth like it were yesterday. It is truly hard to believe it's been 5 years. The moment I saw you I couldn't take my eyes off you and haven't since - never will! You love to make us laugh and it makes my day when you do. You love to read and write and draw and you LOVE anything that I love. :) I'm glad we are close.

When you tell me you love me I melt, literally right there in my seat I just become a puddle of mush. Your hugs and kisses can make the biggest problem or worry quickly disappear. When you look at me and say "can we snuggle?" I am so thankful that you still want too. Oh, and I'll remind you of those days that you still wanted to when you are grown! I ADORE YOU! Daddy and I are so blessed. You are one of the most polite, kind and generous 5 year olds I know. You bring joy to anyone around you and you shine like a star everywhere. Not to say you don't have your moments, you do! Luckily they are getting fewer and fewer. I love the way you love Vegas, your puppy. She adores you and I can tell it is likewise. You girls have bonded so well in the past 5 years.

I can't believe it's been 5 years. For the past 5 years I've been so blessed to be able to be your Mom. I'm so lucky God gave you to me! I hope you know how much I love you and how much I can't wait to watch you grown and succeed. Always know you can tell me anything.

I love you sweet baby! My monkey! I hope you have the best 5th birthday anyone can have!
Keep laughing, it's TOTALLY contagious!

I LOVE YOU!
~Momma
