Happy 5th Birthday Molly!

Molly turned 5 this year! What on earth happened? Just a little while ago I was holding her the hospital for the first time and now she's about to start kindergarten! Molly is such a funny, loving, and strong willed child. She knows what she wants and she isn't going to pressured into thinking differently. I hope she will be like this when she is a teenager. She is also fearless! She will go into almost any situation without thinking about it twice. She shows her love to people in the sweetest ways. We get kisses when we least expect it.
On her actual birthday I took a half day off and met her at her preschool. I brought her class some cookies for a small celebration. Then I took her out to lunch at McDonald's (her absolute favorite place to eat). After lunch we went to get a birthday pedicure. Her request for her birthday dinner was pizza with a brownie and ice cream. I am blessed to be able to spend the day with her!

 Molly got an American Girl Doll that looks like her! 

At McDonald's for lunch. Of course we had to take her American Girl Doll!

Pedicure time! 

5 candles for a fantastic 5 year old! 

My parents have a fun tradition of having the grand kids over to their house on their birthday. They get to spend the night, pick where they want to eat, go shopping for clothes and open a present. This year Molly wanted Camille to spend the night with her. She chose The Cheesecake Factory (a girl after my own heart). Although I think Grandad and BeBe might have helped in choosing that place. If it were up to her she would have picked McDonald's. 

Molly in her new outfit she helped picked out. Even the headband. She loves accessories.
