Eliza turns 5!

Our little darling! She's five! Birthday mornings are always fun--that's when we unwrap family presents! This year Eliza got the beloved pillow pet. We hid it in the dryer! It was a fun treasure hunt.

She also got a tub pink wafer cookies. I only mention it because she asked for them consistently every time we went grocery shopping! She was SO SURPRISED and ever so pleased to unwrap her very own tub!! And what a great sharer she was!Eliza chose Chuck E. Cheese for her "family outing plus a couple friends" party. We did it on her bday, which was a weeknight. Wow--it was a quiet night at Chuck E. Cheese! Made for a stress-free, fun night! The girls loved the little merry-go-round,
all the kids loved the pizza,and the Ariel cake,
and this bike thing that takes you higher and higher as you pedal was a favorite for sure!!
The girls were adorable and had a wonderful time.

And the pin! The pin Eliza is wearing was given to us from Cece, a friend on our block in NYC. This was back when Andrew was turning five. I have saved it for each kid since.

Hooray for turning five!
