Here are finally a few pictures of the girls' finished room. We painted and put up some pictures to make it more their room and not just Gretta's room.

Little sprinkler fun!

And someone turned 5 last week! Shrimp and dumplings were her choice for dinner! You'd think she was older because she did not want attention on her special day. She cried when we sang Happy Birthday and didn't really want any pictures taken....we'll try another day I guess!

She WAS happy though as long as no one mentioned it was her birthday! Bike streamers and "walkie talkers" were 2 things she had wanted for the big 5 years.

I will try to capture this one again, I really just wanted a nice picture of the 3 of us, maybe we'll just try after baby comes out so it really is the 3 of us? We also went to the zoo with a friend of hers from school and should have done some pictures of us all there, but we forgot. Dang pregnancy brain! It was a good time though!

Happy Birthday to our firstborn Gretta! Can't believe we've been blessed with you for 5 whole years!!! We love you SO much!

Gretta was a little under the weather the other day and Maggie took full advantage of big sister's unexpected morning snooze.
