One more time...

The last day of the marathon 5th birthday celebration....

Five-a-palooza

Well, the 5th birthday celebration spanned a good couple days, and we still have the Jones May birthday party next weekend..

We started with getting her new bike last Sunday.
Then, on her actual birthday on Thursday, she had pretzel rods at pre-school, and got special birthday cookies and a balloon from Ms. Suzanne.  Then it was birthday dinner at Red Robin - with birthday sundae for dessert..

Then, on Saturday we had a full day.. Granny took Sydney to American Girl - Sydney chose Kit and Toasty the dog

Then the Westchester Plonas came for lunch and cake so that we could celebrate with Rosie, who is the best sport ever about sharing her birthday! Then they hit the road so that Rosie could get back for her first softball game under the lights.

Then, the Moonises came to have dinner and ice cream cake with us.. They are always fun to hang with, and Daniel cried when it was time for them to go..

And on Sunday, we rested!

Daniel's first date...

With his Grandma Sue :)

They went to the Prince William County Model Railroad Club open house down in Quantico. Apparently it's not just a model railroad depot but an active train station too. So the Amtrak AND several freight trains rolled through. Apparently Daniel kept telling his grandma, "Just 5 more minutes...."
