The May turned 5!

We had several days of celebrating our sweet May's 5th birthday! She started her birthday out by taking 80 (homemade) cupcakes to school and wearing a special "birthday girl" shirt that she specifically requested.



We started a dinner birthday tradition several years ago with the girls. They get to choose where they want to eat for their birthday. The May chose O'Charley's; ironically enough, I went into labor with her at O'Charley's 5 years ago! The waiter overheard us talking about it and gave The May a dessert for her birthday!




Saturday morning we had a Madeline themed party at the park (you can see in all the pictures how WINDY it was!!). We started off by reading "Madeline". Then the kids painted Madeline hats out of paper plates and bowls followed by a fun game of pin the hat on Madeline (the May colored the majority of Madeline herself). Special thanks to Mrs. Kelly who overnighted a special Madeline shirt all the way from California for The May to wear on her big day! The girls were so excited to play with all of her presents yesterday after church. She really loves playing school and thanks to Nana she pretty much got a classroom for her birthday. Thankfully, Nana came over after church and helped me organize The Lynn's room into a classroom/playroom.






I ordered The May a special Madeline clip to wear to her party off of Etsy. Unfortunately, it didn't arrive until Saturday afternoon (and the party was over). I thought it was so cute and thankfully I did get a picture of The May with her shirt and clip.


I still can't believe my sweet girl is 5!
