Ben took the kids to get Ringo's donuts first thing in the morning and then we opened presents. Top on Alison's wish list was a Dream Lite.
Now Eliot thinks he should be able to chew gum too. Things were much easier when it was just Alison. On that list of easier: presents. Now we can't just buy presents for the birthday kid, you have to have compensation presents. So Eli got a Thomas toothbrush and vitamins. Thankfully Colin is still happy with just staring at the pretty paper.
We spent the morning at the Y and then Alison picked out a deepdish pizza lunchable for lunch.
Ben took Alison to see 'Brave' in 3D in the afternoon. Although it was slightly scary, I think she had the time of her life on a date with her daddy. Then they went shopping to spend her birthday money. She picked out this vest and bow.
After the boys were up from their nap, we all met at Fort Fun to play.
It started to rain, so we headed to Chick-fil-A for a birthday dinner...Alison's choice.
We let the kids play on the playscape and heading home to skype with Grandma.

sigh...shedding mama tears for you, friend. Those pictures were so sweet!! You've got a beautiful girl, inside and out. I'm so glad you guys had such a great day together! xoxoxo
What a sweet walk down memory lane. I agree that five seems to be a "big" age.... Transition between little and big kid
Did Alison like the gum? :)
Love the look back at her life. She looks like she really enjoyed her actual birthday and family celebration as much as the big party :-)
She loved the gum, but only chews it for a minute and spits it out.
