Happy 5th Birthday Gabby!

My baby girl just turned FIVE years-old!!! Where did the time go? She was so incredibly excited for her birthday. She has been counting down and planning for weeks. She just told us that she wanted surprises for her birthday, so we had to figure out what she would want. First we made cupcakes, and then frosted them.

After taking the girls to swim class (and after Gabby had been asking all day) we let her open her birthday gifts. She got quite the loot. Grandma and Papa gave her some playdough sets, a few movies from her aunts, a scooter, doll house accesories, and a CD player from mom and dad. She was one VERY happy little girl.

After presents we headed downtown to The Old Spaghetti Factory for Gabby's birthday dinner. Gabby was so happy that the waiters came and sang "Happy Birthday" to her. Last year we also went to Old Spaghetti Factory for her birthday...maybe this is turning into something?

After we got home from dinner the girls got to talk to Grandma and Papa on the computer via Skype. It turned out to be an excellent day!
