Amelia's 5th Birthday

Amelia has told me so many different ways she wanted to celebrate her birthday. She was one excited little girl!!  She wanted to have a big party, but I was partied out after the Holidays and figured everyone else probably was too. 

I asked her if she wanted to just have a little party in her Sunday school class instead. She got really excited about that and couldn't wait to share her birthday with her new little friends. Even if they were all almost boys anyway. 

Here she is at Walmart choosing her birthday cake. It was a very serious task and she didn't need help or suggestions from any of us. You can tell by the look on her face she meant business. 

It was no suprise to anyone that she chose a princess cake. It was kind of special though because last year her cake was pretty pitiful because she wasn't allowed to have any artificial dye. This year she was going for every color possible. 

I kept it simple and just decorated one little table for her. 

I walked into her class and she was hanging onto the cake box with dear life while her boy classmates were in the process of rearranging everything else on the table. She was in a state of panic as only Amelia can be!!!

Her cake really was pretty. They had crystal sprinkles on the cake that made it look like glitter. 

She was with all boys until Aubriella came in a little later. All the pink didn't even phase these boys. They were just happy to be part of the party. 

As soon as church was over Josiah and Titus came running to her class making sure there was cake left over. Ha ha. I knew they would be up there. We took cake home and she had to blow out her candle at least 3 more times that night. 

 

Monday was her actual birthday so of course we had to make that day special too. 

Presents before school!!!

What better way to make it even more special than to have her do school work!!!  

She was halfway through when she heard our dog barking. She looked out the window when she seen Mamaw and Aunt Melissa out there!!!  She was so excited that she went and hid in her closet. Ha ha. Yeah, not sure what that was about. 

We had assumed that we would all be eating Mexican for lunch because that's her most favorite place to eat. She absolutely refused because she was afraid they were going to sing to her. Ever since this:

2 years ago they came up from behind her and sang to her and it terrified her. She has never forgotten and will not go near a Mexican restaraunt close to her birthday. I took her last year and promised they wouldn't sing to her, but they did anyway without me asking them too. I had to ask them not to put whip cream on her face though. So this year she didn't trust anyone!!

We ate Chinese instead. 

Amelia mastered the art of using chopsticks. 

We went back home and Amelia opened more presents. She got clothes, sticker book, and another Barbie. 

The Barbie was actually from Aunt Angela, but somehow Amelia was lead to believe it was from Aunt Melissa. Ha ha. (Angela, I will let you handle that.)

Later that evening when Maynard and the boys got home we went to Dino's for supper before Mom and Melissa left. 

I tried to get a picture of Amelia, but she kept getting photobombed by her brothers and Melissa.

 She wasn't too happy!! Lol

When she went to bed that night she said she was sad because her birthday was almost over. 

Tara gave her birthday money so she was determined to go spend it today. I tried to coax her into getting things she actually needed, but she looked at me like I was crazy.
