5 years.

Chloe is a wonderous 5 years old today.

She woke up to a Happy Birthday balloon greeting and Mama's kisses.

Ate Nutella filled crepes dusted with powdered sugar and pink grapefruit,
her breakfast wishes.

Beamed in church when we sang to her.

Requested "Sweet Chicken and rice" for dinner (days in advance).

She ate it all up along with her yellow squash and french green beans.

Blew out all five candles.

Ate Lemon Poppy cake, covered in frosting, sprinkles and gummy bears.

Opened gifts. Fairy dolls.

Yelled a lot. Fought with Lily. Cried some.

Repeatedly questioned us saying, "Am I really five now?!" as if we were making it all up.

Happy Birthday Chloe Elisabeth.
You are a beautiful, demonstrative, and creative child.
So grown up and still so little.
We love you forever and ever and ever.

Your adoring parents.
