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.

And had a great overall day!

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!

Sounds like a fun day for Haven. She is so beautiful, Sum. It's sad and fun to watch your kids get bigger. I can't wait for you to have a new little one. Your girls will be great with a new baby.

What a great day! Loved this post. I can't believe our kids are getting so big. Spencer turns 6 in eight days. I can't handle it!

Haven's such a beautiful girl. Glad she had a special day!

Happy Birthday Haven. I can't believe how much fun stuff she was able to pack into one day. It looked like she had a smile on her face the whole day.

Brooke Wilkins said...

I love her smile. It is exactly the same as when she was little. She is such a cutie. I bet she had so much fun at disneyland with her daddy. She is a doll.

Happy Birthday Haven! She is so cute. I can't believe she is 5 either I don't think I've seen her since she was a baby. Cute of Bry to wrap her presents, make the sign on her door, and take her to Disneyland... gotta love $60 of free stuff. Isn't pregnancy fun?

what a fun day for her! I never realized how close our kids are in age. Mason will be five in March and Michael & Berkley I think are close too. Funny! too bad we don't live closer, maybe in a few years.

Happy Birthday cute 'Hee-fin' (as Collin would say). I wonder if they honor the merch. for a 2 year old who doesn't have to pay for a pass?
