Melody is 5!
Our little baby who I felt like just came home from the hospital last week turned 5 on Tuesday. It really got here quick. People always tell you time flies with kids. And I do agree, and I always have. But it still blows me away. We had a fun day celebrating all things Melody!
We of course did our annual balloon drop. Every year but her first year has been in our bed. I will be sad when she actually sleeps all night in her own bed the night before her birthday.
She requested pancakes for breakfast.
Then we got dressed and let her go outside to see her first surprise of the day. My in laws scheduled to have a Happy Birthday sign setup the night before. She was so ecstatic. We wanted to do it last year, but her birthday was on Memorial Day, so no one would do it. She always gets so excited for others when she sees them in other yards. So she was thrilled!
Then it was present time! I didn’t upload the video, but when she opened her Barbie Dreamhouse, she kept going on about how she has asked for it for years. And she has asked for it for some time now. And it was much larger than I expected!
Her lunch request was to eat INSIDE Zaxby’s. I was totally surprised by this. I could not tell you the last time she asked for Zaxby’s, but she did that day. I was also nervous the inside would be closed, but it was thankfully open.
After lunch, she wanted to come home and play.
I didn’t get pictures of dinner, but she requested McDonald’s. Then we took pictures in front of her cupcakes and presents.
She asked for a Doc McStuffins birthday. I couldn’t really find specific Doc McStuffins decor, so I just focused on pink and purple. Luckily I had most things already. I did buy some cupcake toppers from Amazon.
She wanted to go back outside and take pictures with her signs before it got dark. My parents came to visit, and she had us put on a show on the sidewalk. The yard signs were the “rows” we had to sit in for the audience.
And literally minutes before bath time, we realized we didn’t get a picture with all 3 of us, so we quickly resolved that!
I think she really had the best birthday! She has her birthday party coming up soon. It was supposed to be this past weekend, but we all came down sick after our trip to Disney World last week. So we postponed it. But between all of her presents Tuesday and her trip to Disney, she is one happy girl!
