HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY HAVEN!!!
I can't believe that 5 years ago today, this little girl made me a mother. Every minute of her has been complete joy and I adore her more than she will ever know! It makes me sad when I realize how fast the time went by but I look forward to many more special moments with Haven in the future!

Bryan was nice enough to wrap Haven's gifts last night when I wasn't feeling good. With the left over wrapping... he got creative and made this on the door.

The first thing she wanted when she woke up was lipgloss, a necklace, her hair curled and to wear my shoes.

She opened a new dress for her Birthday that she wore proudly to school. It was so gaggy but I knew she would love it. Thank you $3.74 price tag at Target. Here she is showing us her age today.

Bryan came home from work early and took her to Disneyland for a couple hours.

Since we already have annual passes and they are doing the "get in free on your birthday" deal for 2009... they gave Haven a gift card for $60 (the price of a ticket) to use on merchandise. She and Bryan had fun picking some things out as you can see from their bags.

She opened a few more gifts at Ruby's for dinner.

I have a feeling we will be seeing this dress a lot over the next year. Thanks Disneyland for Haven's new Snow White dress!
