Happy 5th Birthday, Zoe!

Zoe hit what feels like such a milestone age on April 7th. I cannot believe that our baby girl is already 5 and will be starting kindergarten in just a few short months. She is growing up way too fast! We had a great day celebrating our big girl. She started her birthday at preschool where she got to celebrate with her friends with cupcakes. Her teacher made her a special birthday crown and she got to hold the class birthday bear. We picked her up from school and took her to Swamp Rabbit Cafe for lunch and a special birthday cookie. She got to play on the playground there and walk along the trail for a bit. It was a rare meal with just Zoe and us and she really enjoyed that special time together. When Ava got home from school, Zoe got to open up her presents. I think her favorite gift was her Ada Twist Scientist doll that Ava picked out for her. Of course, I had to get some pictures of the birthday girl. She chose to stay in her footie pj’s, which there really isn’t anything more Zoe than footies. The girl lives in her footies. As soon as she gets home from anywhere, she gets right back into her footies. So, taking birthday pictures in her footies seemed like the perfect way to capture Zoe at 5 years old. We ended the day with waffles for supper, a favorite of Zoe’s.

This little girl is so filled with joy and we love celebrating her and her infectious smile. Happy birthday, baby girl! We love you so much!
