Birthday Girl


Just last year we moved to Surprise, and had to celebrate her birthday in mid of our chaotic move in.  This year we got to celebrate it amid another chaotic move, but this time we are moving out.  Its funny when we moved in last year, David told me that we wouldn't be living in this house for too long.  I guess he was right.  Ariana, was still happy though.  She keeps asking us everyday when we are moving down to San Diego.  I think she is really excited about being close to family.  She said the best present she could get was us moving to San Diego, where the ants don't bite. Yes she is obsessed with this. 

We started her morning with opening up birthday presents.  We like to do it in the morning that way our kids have time to play with all their toys all day.  Then we had her birthday lunch, since everyone was home.  And we finished the night with eating her birthday cake.  It started off a little shaky because she said she was not feeling well, but she soon made a turn around by the afternoon.  We wanted to thank family for all their phone calls to wish my Nanita a happy birthday.  And Sara and Kevin for the amazing gifts.  She carries her pinky pie everywhere with her.  My nikon is still not back so I had to take pics with my old one.  I didn't realize how much I would miss my camera.  But in the end it doesn't matter, I still got to take pictures of my big five year old girl.




Ariana at 5 Years Old

1)  You love My Little Pony, and you want to start watching shows like ICarly and Hanna Montana, but I don't let you.  They just seem so grown up to me.  About every week, you present to me the reasons why you should be able to watch these shows.  You almost get me to break little one, but I noticed when you watch these shows you start to talk back a lot.  I know you will be big soon enough so, I don't want to speed up the process.

2) You love to color with your brother.  This makes Daddy so proud.  He thinks you and Viggo may get his talent for art.  I think so too.

3) You love to shop.  You are the best shopping partner ever.  I think you are just a people watcher, and you love to observe.  Your Dad and I are a little more shy, so I don't know where you got this outgoing personality.  You say hi to everyone, and precede to have a conversation with them about their day.  It is very cute.  I can tell you make people smile.  

4) Your favorite food is still pizza and ice cream.  And you love chocolate! Daddy says you get that from your Aunt Leah.  But Auntie Leah and I know Daddy a little better than that.

5) You love your brother soooooo much.  You are the best big sister ever.  He looks up too you so much.  Every night you and Viggo have ninja battles.  It is very nice of you to not force him to play dolls all day.  

6)  You have the ability to read emotions so well. You can tell when someone is sad and in need of a friend.  Your heart goes out to them.  I think you are going to make the world a better place by just being in it Nanita. 
8) You have become obsessed with movies that Daddy and I use to watch.  You are determined to watch them all.  Right, now you are on a mission to watch a Shirley Temple movie.  And you love to sit with me and watch I Love Lucy.  I use to watch old black and white shows all the time as a little girl too.  I am excited as you get older that I will have someone to sit with and watch all the classics with.  Your dad is not such a big fan.

9) As sweet as you are, you are not afraid to voice your opinion. Sometimes, it gets a little out of hand.  But I love that you have a mind of your own, and aren't afraid to stand up for what you think is right.  Sometimes, Ariana you teach me important lessons.

10)  You absolutely love to learn.  You hunger for new information.  You la la la love going to primary.  You look forward to it all week.  I know I won't struggle getting you up in October for school.  I am sure you will be up before even I am.  

I love you Ariana! Happy 5th birthday!  

Sorry for the information overload everyone. I just want Ariana to look back one day and almost be able to relive her memories.
