Today was Olena's 5th birthday. Hard to believe that she is 5! This year we kept it very simple and I have to admit it was surely one of my favorite - every year after the big hoopla party I have a stressed out kid, a dirty house, a headache and my wallet is a couple hundred dollars short. I took some time this year and really thought about it and decided that a day with just us and a very simple pleasures would be just perfect...and you know what, it was! We were lazy in the morning, went to the mall and played on the play scape, came home listened to music and read books, and played with toys. Last night I made a small cake and some tiny cupcakes which we had after dinner and I put up a few decorations to make it festive. This morning she got a few small presents - that honestly she could have cared less about ! and she got to stay up a little bit later tonight and we read her new Peter Pan book together. Now she sleeps! Good night little angel and Happy 5th Birthday.
We went tiny with the cake this year. She doesn't really cake and mommy and daddy don't really need it :)
rockin it out with the air guitar.
Her new pony from cousin Cheryl - His name is Al.
