Happy Birthday Sydney!

The Birthday Girl!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy 5th Birthday to Sydney, Happy Birthday to you!!! Can you believe Sydney is 36 years old today in human years?!? She's older than us! Crazy huh?!? Hopefully I have as much energy as she does when I am 36!! This year has been quite different for Sydney becoming a big sister and all, but she has done great. She is so good with Hayden... even when he "accidentally" pulls her hair out! Hayden really loves helping us throw Sydney her toys during play time. They are great friends. We all love her so much. We celebrated her birthday yesterday and she had a great time. She loved her cake, but loved her presents even more! We sang Happy Birthday for her, watched her open her gifts, and then all celebrated with her by eating desserts!!:) As always, she LOVED opening her presents... it is so much fun to watch! I must admit one of her gifts this year was as much for us as it was for her! We got her a new "house"! It is a crate that also serves as an end table. We have always let her stay in the kitchen when we were at work, running errands, shopping, eating out, etc., but now she has a little "house" of her own. Before we moved to our house she always had a crate to stay in when we were gone, and she seemed to like it much better. I simply could never find one I liked for the house until now. It is so comfy, and not too ugly to look at like some of them, plus it gives us another end table! She seems to really like it, and I am so excited to get the gates out of the kitchen! Although we would have chosen this gift as the favorite, her choice for favorite gift was definitely her bully sticks. They are a type of rawhide that she goes crazy for. We hardly ever get them for her because they are so expensive, but on special occasions they are always waiting for her. Maybe that is why she likes opening the gifts... she knows she'll find them in there! She never really gets that into eating her cake, but she will destroy a bully stick! Here are some pics and even a little slide show from her party!!

The self timer on the camera actually works!

Hayden was having a little more fun than Sydney!

We had to have our picture with the birthday girl!
