My baby is 5!!

My oldest is growing up! 5 years old yesterday! The morning started off with opening birthday cards from Grandma's (my mom and grandma) then we headed off to story time at the Provo Library. Alona is a big girl, she now goes to story time all by herself. They did the letter O and focused on things from the Ocean and she got Super Reader stickers! Super Readers is a new cartoon out on kbyu/pbs. It is a really awesome for her age group, learning to read and having a super fun time doing it.

Abbi enjoyed her story time that they had at the same time too. She did the camp fire hokey pokey and learned about the letter C. They sang the wheels on the bus, the bus took all of the kids to the camp site! They did a puppet show and sang other songs and gave them a picture of a tent to color.
Then Grandma came brought the younger kids prizes and brought Alona birthday presents. A digital camera and a little people pet salon. She says " I have soo many presents!" Abbi still has a hard time even though she got a prize. She needed to have a camera to play with, and she was real cute, I gave her a camera I used a while ago and Paul put batteries in it and it kept flashing..."I took a picture!"
And then Grandma treated her to McDonalds. Her favorite part of McDonalds, the toy in the Happy Meal. I guess thats why its a Happy Meal. We came home and made her birthday cake and Dad and Alona made the pirate map for her birthday party. The girls helped with the frosting, a lot!
We went to the Brick Oven for dinner, we had promised pizza and I really wanted to try this place! Alona got free dessert! They offered her an ice cream sundae with a lollipop stuck in it. Alona had her lollipop on the side. Their bread sticks were good. Abbi was more excited about the bathroom, wouldn't eat much pizza or ice cream. When they delivered her dessert they sang happy birthday to her!

We came home and sang happy birthday to Alona and had some cake, they liked the orange frosting that we made.Red and yellow food coloring, the girls had fun mixing that together. Then she opened our present, a Dora Movie, I know small but we also are giving her a birthday party with kids her age on Saturday morning, that is going to be great fun! We have at least six kids coming, It will be a pirate themed party, seems this is so popular lately. Macey's had a kids treasure hunt last Saturday and our playgroup is having a treasure hunt today!
Alona said our family prayers last night, she volunteered and she had a great day and was thankful for all of her presents and grandma and going out. It was great to hear how much she enjoyed it!
