Kirra's 5th!

Is it already November? MY Kirra has been 5 for 2 weeks already? What!?! We had so much fun celebrating Kirra's birthday, it was quite relaxing and the whole day was really just perfect. We started out the morning with some funny face pancakes and ice cream!

Kirra had decided she wanted to have a Build a Bear party with a few of her cutest friends. Considering Grammy and Papa were coming from Australia the very next day I figured that would be an easy way to have some fun. We ventured off to the Gateway with a car full of excited girls!

I love that they gave all the littlies a pen and bear to sign as a gift for Kirra. As we left the store Kirra acted so excited that she had decided it was okay to draw all over the bear with a "permanent" marker. I had to explain why it was a special bear and we don't draw on all of our animals!

He loved pushing the pedal for the stuffing. HE took over for some of the girls despite their annoyances with him!


We found his pup stuffed in the vacuum many, many times:

Trying out the gear. Apparently even though it's one size fits all it doesnt quite fit the most handsome of squishy things in the store:

Pledging to love and take care of their animals always:

All the party girls:

After Build a Bear we went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner, cupcakes & ice cream, gift openening, and playing!

The requested cupcakes with bright pink frosting:

It really was such a fun day...I truly love birthdays and Kirra was the best birthday girl. Can't believe my beauty is already officially 5!
