Carrie's milestones

Carrie also had a BIG month!  My little baby turned 5!!!! And she graduated from preschool.  

The fifth birthday celebration lasted for about a month.  Well maybe just a week, but Carrie kept trying to play the birthday card well after the celebrations were over!  The first celebration was at Gigi and G-Pop's house where a secret fairy dropped off a scooter for her and she got a 'computer' from Gigi and G-Pops.  Tuesday that week was her actual birthday so we celebrated that day and all week long by opening various presents including a beautiful butterfly necklace from Aunt Amanda.  The next weekend Grandma and Grandpa came into town (more presents) and she had a birthday party at her gymnastics place on Sunday.  Whew!  Mommy and Daddy were all tuckered out after all of that!  We have all kinds of new ponies, Barbie dolls, books, stickers, and mermaids floating around the house now.  We also love to shove ALL of our new toys and books in our bed at night as well as to hide them in our room so Andrew won't get them.

The other big milestone was that she 'graduated' from preschool. The school had a nice party to celebrate!  I can't believe she is actually starting kindergarten!!!!

I have also shared some other cute pictures of Carrie from this month including some of her at Maddie's birthday party as well as some of her 'around town.'

Enjoy!
