Happy Birthday to our dear Cora! Cora is now 5 years old! Cora started her birthday celebrations the night before with a special daddy-daughter date to Cars 2. She loved it! (And consequently took a rare nap in church to catch up on sleep :)).
Sunday morning the kids woke up bright and early as usual. Cora opened presents throughout the day, spreading out all the birthday fun. Cora chose donuts, weekend cereal, and juice for breakfast. Her first present was her most requested one-- a doll that talks. Well, actually she really wanted a doll that pees, but she had to settle for a doll that you can feed and who cries. I had a hard time finding one that I didn't think looked creepy. This little girl (who has been named Flower Rose) is pretty cute.
That's one proud little mama! This doll is a favorite for sure. Luke also loves her, which has caused a few problems. I'm on the lookout for a cute little boy doll for him. He loves sticking the bottles in the dolly's mouth and kissing and hugging her. He'll be a good daddy!
Here's Pirate Cora! New dress-ups from Keyton and Liz and family! Cora especially loves her eyepatch :).
Cora chose tunafish sandwiches, cheetoh puffs, watermelon, and lima beans for lunch. We did end up skipping the lima beans :). Cora loved having the Primary kids sing her Happy Birthday at church!
Luke got Cora some books for her birthday
Violet picked out some headbands and clippies for Cora's birthday present.
5 candles!
Kevin's been playing around with his panorama feature on his camera. It was great to have our monthly family dinner at our house on Cora's birthday so Kissie, Pata, Shad, Jen, and Bailee could come!
Cora got a cute dress from Kissie and Pata and a much coveted bathrub Ariel from Shad, Jen, and Bailee.
Pre-dinner bubble blowing...
A few weeks ago we had yummy flank steak for dinner that Cora loved, so she requested it for her birthday-- lucky us! She also asked for cheesey broccoli, cresents, and watermelon, with pink lemonade and chocolate milk. And brownies with mint icecream and sprinkles for dessert. Double yum!
And... ta-da! One post-candle surprise, a new bike! Cora has been looking huge on her old bike, it was definitely time for a change! Violet loved getting her 'new' bike from Cora too (but she's tall, it might not fit her much longer!).
Of course we had to go outside and try it out. Luke let Bailee catch a ride on his trike.
Happy Happy Birthday to my darling Cora!
At 5 years old, Cora weighs 43.21 pounds and is 43.01 inches tall.
