Wow, my first child is now 5! She is such a big girl. She was so excited for her birhtday this year. We had a party on Saturday with some friends, Jackie had a great time. Today we had asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday, she said she really wanted to go to Chuck-E-Cheese. We have never gone to Chuck-E-Cheese, but Grandma and Granpa took her there and she remember how much fun it was. It was really cute to hear her explain to Dallin what would be there, and all the fun games he could do. She thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and amazingly they all ate pretty good too.
I showed Jackie a bunch of cakes online that I could make for her. Her favorite was a princess, with the cake being her dress. I bought a beautiful princess barbie to put inside, but when I made the cake it turned out a bit smaller than I had anticipated. Luckily she just got this cute Strawberry Shortcake doll from her friend Hannah for her birthday, and it happend to be just the right size. So we made a Strawberry Shortcake cake. Jackie was so excited to decorate it, she wanted to use every kind of sprinkles we had, so it turned out VERY SPRINKLY. She thought it was GORGEOES, and since it is her birthday, that is all that matters.
Jackie also wanted to dress like a princess today. She has a cute little princess outfit that she wanted to wear. I explained that it probablly wouldn't work to go to Chuck-E-Cheese. But I could make her hair into a beautiful crown. She liked that idea and held very still while I braided her hair all the way around her head. Afterward, I held the mirror up so she could see the back, she was in awe....and I was pretty amazed myself. That was the first time I have attempted that type of a braid. My Mom used to do it to my hair and I always felt so beautiful. We would call it the Princess Leah braid. Jackie is our beautiful five year old Princess.

So I totally remember your hair like that when you were younger--I remember sitting behind you in primary and wondering how your mom did your hair--I was so jelous that my mom couldn't do that :)
Happy Birthday to a beautiful little girl! i can hardly believe she is five! WOW Becca you'll have a kindergartner!!!
Wow becca, I can't believe you can braid like that! I always plan to do something amazing with the girls' hair for christmas, or birthdays and all I end up doing is buns. Because the braids just prove too difficult. Your little girls looks sweet, so do your other kids. Glad to see you guys so happy.
Woo Hoo! Kindergarten here you come! We have loved listening to the kids and the things they have learned in kindergarten. It is very fun to watch them grow up.
And I so totally remember you hair like that. I remember you coming to church like that, and Jo and I would always talk about it. And you did an amazing job on it - my girls would never sit still for that!
they get big so fast. Her Hair was beautiful, Jenna's would never stay like that, to thin and wild. Good job on the cake too. What a special day.
