Alexia's 5th birthday!

On November 11th, our precious girl turned FIVE! She had been so excited for the day to arrive and talked about it so much. She had been counting down the days for over a month so I think she could hardly believe it when it finally arrived.  For the first time, she requested a Family Fun Day which was super special.  We let her plan the day and it went as follows: yogurt parfait for breakfast (plain yogurt with honey and homemade granola and kiwi, banana, grapes and mango); 9:15 church service; Chuck E Cheese's for play and lunch right after church; home for tea party and carrot cake; pinata in backyard and ending the day with a pupusa feast.  She was one happy girl!  

She requested carrot cake, which upon trying she said, "I don't care for it so much."  

So very thankful for this precious girl and the way the Lord is building our relationship!

The family she adores!

 She was so excited to Skype with Tio Robi!

One of the gifts she received from her brothers was a Cinderella costume and she LOVED(S) it!  Here is the princess and her pinata!

 The boys loved the punching balloons that were in the pinata

And a race with the boys!!

Alexia has been blessed with so many gifts and in the Lord's great mercy she is learning to use them for His glory.  

She usually wakes up before 7, but stays in her bed until 7:00 and then flies out of bed with all the energy of the household.  She can sing, dance, talk, skip, jump, laugh and smile all before the rest of us get out of bed. 

She is a bundle of joy, energy, wit and charm.
We love you, Alexia Marie!
