Happy 5th Birthday, Natalie!

Yesterday, was Natalie's 5th birthday. Wow! It's hard to believe it's been five years since we were in the hospital seeing Natalie for the first time. The memories seem like it was not that long ago...me being quite sick all day, Auntie Chris coming to hang out with Nate, hanging out in the hospital for a week and a half.

I believe Natalie had a fun day celebrating yesterday. She came in to my room, and I sang her Happy Birthday. She liked the card Nate and I got her. Natalie had to wait for her present from us until later when we got home from our fun day with grandparents and cousins.

We got ready to go have a breakfast brunch with family. Natalie polished off her rainbow pancakes and birthday pie in record time. Afterward, she had a fun time playing with her cousins...especially the special tea party Auntie Chris set up for Ella and her.

We had a chance to cheer on cousin Zach playing baseball, and then we headed for home with cousin Ella for a sleepover. It was surprising that Natalie was the one who was crying last night...she was tired, and we had given Ella Natalie's bed so things were a little different. It must have affected her early wake up time this morning too...or she must have heard Nate's early phone call. Hopefully, with Ella's ability to sleep in this morning, we won't have 2 grouchy little girls...maybe just one. :)

Thanks to everyone who phoned to wish Natalie a Happy Birthday!
