Caitlin Turns 5 Years Old

We can't believe our little girl has turned 5!!  Seems like just yesterday we were welcoming her into this world on a very cold, windy, and rainy January day.  Well, needless to say - she was the happiest girl on her day.  She felt like a princess and the only tears shed were when the needles went through her ears (that was her birthday wish - to get her ears pierced).

Started as a normal day - waking up... but of course this day is waking up to balloons, princess tiara, and a boa.

Then...while waiting patiently on her daddy to make her breakfast of choice - grits, eggs, bacon and biscuits... she got a surprising phone call from Minnie Mouse.

After breakfast and spending some fun times with her sisters.. we headed to Claire's to get her ears pierced.  She was very brave... got a little nervous but then as soon as the guns went click - her face kinda froze and then a few tears came out.  After 30 seconds, she was good to go pick out some more earrings to wear when her ears healed.

 After her ear piercing adventure, we headed to Chilis for her lunch of choice - chicken strips with pineapples!  Then back to home where she couldn't wait to open her presents and have birthday cake.  She was blessed with a wonderful birthday, thanks to many loved ones!

Her birthday cake was a Barbie doll.  Sums up Caitlin pretty much - she is very much a Barbie doll - she may look like a princess but can do anything she sets her mind to.

Now 10 more days till her older sisters birthday.  Pheww!!
