Five years old!

My sweet 5 year old thought it was too much attention at first. 
She picked out her birthday dress the night before and this is how she came downstairs this morning.

She got over it when she saw the gifts...clothes, hair clips, and make-up, oh my!
She loved, loved, loved every gift! 

I had to take a picture since the camera was ready for the party. 
Anna woke up before everyone else and apparently she was hungry! 
Almond butter and jelly everywhere, but at least now I know she can take care of herself, haha!

These four kids always have so much fun together. 
Addie, Anna, Sarah and Pierson. 

Erik wasn't too happy that we woke him up from his morning nap. 



Don't be fooled by him standing alone.  He's still not walking :) 

He recovered enough to have fun with Rhodes, Pierson and Marin. 
Sweet babies.

Sarah didn't want to swim long, not with a new dress and purse waiting! 
Then she asked us to put her in the swing so she didn't have to touch the mud!

Erik thought we weren't looking :)



When he saw that Arve caught him, he said, "Aw" as if he knew he shouldn't do that!

Sweet Addie looked like she needed a nap, along with all the other babies. 
What an adorable girl. 

Playing scratch-off lottery with norwegian words.  
She really enjoyed this!  Takk, Bestemor og Bestefar!

We ended the day with a jog around the reservoir. 
Anna was so proud that she jogged most of the way!

 This is how they run sometimes and it cracks me up! 

They stopped to see how many more driveways they had to pass before they got to ours. 

Then they kept running.  Too funny! 

Happy 5th birthday to my baby girl! 

What beautiful gifts we have been given.
