Five

(yes it's been awhile since the last blog post... I'm going to just jump right back in like nothing happened)

Today is Amelia's 5th birthday! It's unbelievable to me really... her first milestone birthday! No longer a little kid (except in stature) and about to start school!

We had a space theme party yesterday afternoon. So here's thousands of pictures...
 Food table with a hanging solar system


Rocket 

the food of course followed the theme: Flying saucers- pork burgers

Saturn's rings-onion rings
 star bits-pineapple
 not picture: curly comets-curly french fries, meteorites-rice krispies, rocket fuel-lemonade


 I came up with a space themed relay race... team one getting a game plan
 2 teams lined up ready to go

 the relay consisted of 5 stations... a player had to run to their station, read the instructions and then carry out their task before returning to the team ... station 1 was naming as many planets you could. 

Amelia is at station 2 ... the big dipper and the milk way. Had to eat an oreo and drink a glass of milk
 Lincoln  and Sydney doing Station 3 ... blast off! putting on the jet pack, counting down and running around.



Station 4 was a moon rock dig and Station 5 was shooting the aliens.


present time... everyone watching





Baby Graham!

Amelia got a big girl bike ... finally :) from Mom and Dad!

Ellie gave Amelia a "cousins forever" necklace

We had a great weekend celebrating Amelia! The past 5 years have gone by so fast. Looking forward to seeing how she grows and changes, Lord willing, this coming year!
