Lordy Be, and Land Sakes Alive! Alert the Media....Cuz Eloise Just Turned 5!

Yes, hold on to your hats. You may not have gotten the memo or notification of our national holiday....but it's true. Our 4 year old is now 5....and enjoying every moment! We do a big friend party on their 'even' year and a family party on the 'odd' year. So....here's our family plus a couple of our very best neighborhood friends. Lily's mommy has been in and out of the hospital lately (more in than out) so she was very, very excited to come over and spend the evening dressed as Cinderella and eating cake and ice cream!(Lily, not her mommy...:)) Friend Alexis came too. We refer to her as Alexis VanLue because she's here so much! As you can see...we had a great time celebrating Kristin. She is a never ending blond bundle of emotional energy that brings us much joy and laughter every day. It's sad for me to bid goodbye to 4 (I think 4 year olds are the true "little golden book' definition) but know 5 with this child will be opening new wonders and gifts we haven't even imagined! All of our children have been so unique and different....that we're amazed constantly at the diversity God has given us in them! We're grateful for them all and the joy they bring! Happy Birthday Kristi-loo-who! DISCLAIMER: Now, before you all have a heart attack thinking we let this 4/5 yr. old sit and watch Hannah Montana all day...let it be known...we do not. We frequent Disney, and from there and D. Channel she knows enough to get the point. We do not indulge her with endless H.M.AND let her soak in pop culture. She doesn't need to. She has her family to soak in. On that note....aren't the pics funny?! She really thinks she's a serious musician!
