HC is Officially FIVE TODAY!!!

Today my HC is 5!!!!!! I can't believe it! I can still remember her being a teeny babe - I remember her scooting around on the floor - I remember her pulling up on the sofa and those giggles - I remember food everywhere as she tried to feed herself. I remember the tip toe walking and almost falling and her first goose egg and the list goes on and on!

Here we are today at 5! WOW~ here is a glimpse at her party on Saturday, starting off with the cake! (I heart cupcake cakes!! They make cake time so much easier!)
We arrived at the mall an hour before the party to get our tables ready. HC was SO excited (and so was JB). The excitement was waning - they were on look-out for their friends!
Me and the 2 on look-out duty!
At one point, HC began circling the table repeatedly saying "My guests are late. My guests are late." She was cracking me up! We had a week long count down until this day and the last hour was a bit much for her to endure!
She even had JB in on the pacing.
Finally!!! We walked down to our girl party destination and found some friends!!
Then it was off to dress-up!
A happy girl! Who doesn't like Libby Lu when you are 5!?!
Next it was hair and make-up and nails! DIVA DAY!!!!Mommy needs to go to Libby Lu for hairstyling lessons! HC LOVED every minute of the pampering! Truly she is her mother's daughter! TA-DAH!!!!!! She was completely glamorous!!!!

All of our Diva's were finally ready for their big show! Even our most bashful one was up for the dancing and singing! That made my day!
Learning the dance moves!
SHOW TIME!
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HC!!!!!"
Time to eat!
Sweet JB hung out with Dad at the tables with the presents. He was so wanting to watch the girls get glam-ed up but he was a trooper. When JB went to pick out a gift for HC Daddy wisely picked up a car for JB and he quietly played while waiting for us to return.
Then JB was given a BIG honor - he helped Dad carry the cake to his stister.
HC was loving the attention of being sung to!
Candles out - cake eaten! It's now time for.....
PRESENTS!!!!! Once we arrived home HC tore open every gift and put it in it's new home! She loves to organize her things! She has played with it all and loves it!!! THANK YOU FRIENDS!
To our friends who are boys - we felt we would spare you the icky girl-ness of this party! I hope you understand - but next year we will return to celebrating with you ALL!! You were missed for sure! :) I thought you would understand that turning 5 was calling for a girlie day!

Happy Birthday HC!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!
