another year older-

Five already?!

But she was just this -

And then this -

And then this -

Now she is five years old! It is so fun to see what they have become so far in life, but it is hard when they figure out that they don't 'need' mom and dad quite like they did as a newborn. (of course, we still have several years ahead of us with this little fire cracker!) Millie loves to snuggle, gives awesome bear hugs, kisses me 'just because,' loves our reading books together at bedtime and is constantly busy. She doesn't like any attention on her if she gets hurt (she'll grunt at you), she loves to play with friends - very social, she's an early riser and has become pretty computer savvy. Millie giggles...a lot and is rarely seen walking anywhere! Can you tell that we think this girl is pretty special?

The Christmas Choir Concert was on her birthday, so we celebrated as family earlier in the day and had her first friend party the following week.

Concentrating hard before the big blow -

Millie and her cute bunch of girlfriends.

Me and Millie on her big day-

Happy Birthday, Millie Moo! We sure love you to the moon and back!

Yikes, I think I still picture her as a 3 year old. That whole group of girls is growing up so quickly. I love how she concentrated on her candle!
