Happy Birthday Jessi!

Yesterday was Jessica's birthday! She is now 5 years old. She wanted to go to the beach for her birthday so on Monday we loaded everything up (it sure takes a lot for a simple beach trip) and headed to Silver Beach. Our good friends the Larsen's joined us and we spent hours in the sun and water. (Our faces and backs show it too). The kids had a blast with their friends and the babies slept, which means I had some fun as well. Unfortunately, I forgot tot take the camera, ah well. Just imagine a bunch of kids running out in the water with huge grins on their faces.

After the beach, the Larsen's joined us for a birthday dinner. Jessi picked hamburgers but barely ate because she was so excited about her birthday cake. Becca made an amazing Barbie cake and Jessi got to help decorate it. She was very particular about how she wanted it decorated and what colors to use. She was so happy with how it turned out. Thanks again Becca! It really made her day.

We opened presents the next day as it was officially her birthday. She was so excited. She gott a check from Grandma and Grandpa, which she has already decided how she plans on spending. She got a Barbie from her brother (who asked if he could use his own money to buy it for her, so sweet) two Barbie movies from her siblings and a box of Princess Polly Pockets from mom and dad. She has been in girly seventh heaven ever since :)

Happy Birthday Jessi! We love you!
