Today my baby turned five years old. Five years, it feels like such a significant milestone. She is no longer a baby at home with me, she's a school girl with her own thoughts, ideas and life. She is an amazing girl and I feel so privileged to be her Mom.
We had such a lovely day together as a family for Sydney's birthday today. We spent a quiet morning at home hanging out together and getting things prepared for Sydney's party this afternoon.
We were thrilled to chat with Grandma on the phone when she called to wish Syd a happy birthday this morning. I love how Syd is getting better and better at carrying on phone conversations all on her own!
The day started out with a special breakfast for Sydney, I set up all of her favourite Frozen things in keeping with the day's theme and set out a couple of gifts for Syd to start the day off with.
It was very sweet watching her unwrap her presents and to see how excited she was to get each one.
Early in the afternoon we headed to UBC Gymnastics for Sydney's birthday party. We invited twenty of her friends to join us for the celebration. It was so special to see friends from preschool and before that we haven't seen in a few months since school started.
We carried the Frozen theme well into the party today. I even managed to pull off making a themed cake for her!
The party room looked great all decked out for our guests.
The kids had such fun playing in the gym before we headed upstairs for snacks and cake.
Syd has one special request for the day, she wanted a pinata, so we obliged and the kids had a great time trying to smash it open before Uncle Paul had to rip it open with his bare hands!
We came home with a mountain of presents that Syd had such fun opening! I am always so amazed at how blessed we are by our friends and family who are so generous towards Sydney at this time of year!
What a beautiful day it was. Happy 5th Birthday Sydney, Mommy's Best Girl.
