Turning 5!

 Turning 5 is such a big deal. It means you are a BIG kid.  You are ready for school and to be treated a little older.  It means no more playing with 4 year olds (or at least Ashlyn thinks so).  We decided to throw a big party in celebration of this momentous occasion.  
First off: Preschool Party.  We went with ice cream cones this year.  It was a big hit!


 On the morning of their actual birthday, the doughnut tradition continued on.

I can't believe "the babies" are 5 and will start kindergarten in August.  When they were born I never thought about the future, I just survived one day at a time. Now we are on the brink of sending them off into the "real world" of kindergarten and it feels so strange. I have so many mixed emotions as my heart breaks a little that this time has come.  I'm trying to soak up all the moments while I still have them at home all day while they are counting the days until the first day of school. (heavy sigh!)
