The big 5!

Our sweet little Victoria was lucky enough to turn 5 while we were in UT and since one of her favorite things are Dinosaurs there was no other place to go and celebrate than the Dinosaur museum!!!!

This was the first guy she saw and her face says it all.

All ready and excited to go in.

They were so festive :-)

Our little family. Notice the sticker on Victoria's shirt, it said "Birthday girl" (or something like that ) she got special treatment for going on her birthday.

Cousin LOVE!

Cheese!!!

My lovely girls.

One of Victoria's favorite part.
Water, sand and dinosaurs.

and when no one was looking...
Wyatt got right on top and played just like boys do.

She was being fed to the  big guy.

Oh , I miss these beautiful ladies :-)

What's happening you might wander...

Our family was in danger!!!!

Baby Elephant!

This place was huge and since David was seriously getting older, well he needed a nap.

Then Meggie decided to do a double nap. Her and Sam.

She wakes up so pretty from cat naps.

Then it was home to keep the celebration going. Mom made a delicious blue cheese Alfredo sauce and I made "Puppy dog cupcakes"

When its your birthday you get to eat on the "Birthday table cloth"

Five years full of craziness. Victoria is so spunky, so full of life, so sweet and loving and crazy.
One of the things that I love the most about Victoria is her face expressions, from when she was a baby she could make the funniest faces, her eyes are so expressive and they represent her constant happy state.
Victoria loves everyone, she spends most of her time making cards for all of us, in them she tells us how much she loves us.
Victoria loves her baby sister. Sometimes it is a strange love, but she loves to teach her new things and make her happy when she is sad.
Victoria is reading, the funny thing is, she kept it a secret from us for a very long time. Don't know why and I am sure it won't be the last surprise we get from her.
Victoria will eat oatmeal every morning if given the opportunity, she just loves the stuff.
Victoria eats a peanut butter and honey sandwich every day for lunch, and when she doesn't she is a sad kid.
Victoria is afraid of the dark, she has to have a light on outside their room so she can fall asleep. She gets scared very easily of things and has told me not to let her watch The Grinch stole Christmas, Sleeping Beauty, and an episode of Dc Mcstuffins.
Victoria gets bored unless you are giving her your full attention.
Victoria loves everything little, little figures to play with, little animals, little doggies, little everything!

Victoria brings a spice into our lives everyday. Without her we would spend the weekends on the couch reading non stop. Without her we wouldn't do forts or find little dogs everywhere. Without her there would be no love notes all over the place.

We love you Toti!!!
