Happy 5th Birthday, Ryleigh!

Ryleigh turned 5 on Friday!  I can't believe it.  She has been talking about turning five for several years because that meant she would be able to go to kindergarten.  I had a half day on Friday so we took her to lunch at Red Robin.  She wanted to wear a dress on her birthday so she looked cute opening presents.  She got to open presents from family that night.  Devin said she was asking all day to open them.  She even asked the second she woke up if she could open them before I went to work.

She was very excited to get the movie Frozen from Grandpa and Grandma McDowell.

And she was just as excited to get the one gift she asked for, a make-up kit from Bailey.

Saturday we had a little birthday party for her.  Again, she wanted to wear a dress for the same reason, to look cute while opening her presents.  She is such a girl!  She had her cousins and a few friends come to a Princess Party.  We started out playing Princess Bingo.  Even Zach and Mason played along.

We played a find Cinderella's glass slipper game and then got up to the table for some cake and ice cream.  Ryleigh has been talking about the kind of cake she wanted for several months.  She requested a cake with all the princesses.  I found a cute picture on Pinterest of a castle with the princess figurines on it.  We were able to find all of the princess she wanted except Elsa.

Then everyone gathered around for presents.

We are so grateful to have Ryleigh as part of our family.  She is growing up way too fast.  We love her to pieces!
