Happy 5th Birthday to Vivian!

Our baby girl is 5 and we made it through her birthday weekend!  Vivian got her big girl bike that she wanted and she was thrilled about it! Friday morning we headed downtown to see Disney on Ice: Treasure Trove.  Vivian's favorite part was the whole thing and Henry's favorite part was the large alligator that came out and and ate Captain Hook from Peter Pan.  The kids got snow cones, hot dogs and popcorn.  As Tinkerbell was "floating" through the air sprinkling fairy dust, Vivian was quick to tell me that the fairy dust wasn't come from her wand it was coming from the ceiling....not sure about that.  She also informed me that when the pirates were shooting the cannons, those weren't real either...good to know!Good times were had by all. 

Grandma Carol and Grandpa came down on Saturday for Vivian's princess party.  We had a princess come to the house, Rapunzel from Tangled and nine 5 year old princesses. The girls were very excited when Rapunzel showed up and sat around and did all of the "tests" they needed to do to become a princess.  Rapunzel put make up on all of the girls and glitter in their hair. It was very exciting!  I made cupcakes for the kids and Vivian got lots of great presents. We also celebrated Grandpa's birthday while he was here.  His birthday is 2 days after Vivian's...and what a better way for him to spend his birthday than at a princess party. :-)  We all went out to dinner after the party and Dan and I took advantage of having overnight babysitters! 

I wanted to see the same band I saw for my birthday last year and they happened to be playing on Saturday night.  It's an 80's cover band, The Zeros and they are a blast!  We had a great time and had a group of about 15 people.
