Chloe is 5!!

Wow! I can't believe that Chloe is already 5 years old! She has been so excited for her birthday and counting down the days. She changed her mind a few times of what she wanted for her birthday, and how she wanted to celebrate. She told me "Mom, I am going to wake you up on my birthday." I said, "you are?" Chloe "Yes! I don't want to miss it!!" It has been really fun watching her be so excited.

When she woke up, right away she wanted to know where her balloons were. Oooops! I didn't have time to get them because Colter had a dr. appointment at 8:45. After the dr. appointment we went to pick up the cake. OOOooops again! I had left my wallet out of my purse! So back to Smithfield! Chloe picked up my wallet and handed it to me and hurried and called my neighbor about getting together for Chloe's bday. Drove back to Logan, look in purse--no wallet! Back to Smithfield AGAIN, can't find my wallet in the house. Our neighbor Caroline came over with a card for Chloe and as I was talking to her in the driveway I look over and there is my wallet sitting on the passenger's seat in the van. Great. Third time's the charm....I drove back to Logan got all we needed and headed back home.

After we quickly ate lunch we (Abby, Chloe and I) all loaded in the van with Chloe's friends Lizzy, and London, and their mom Melissa (our neighbors). We planned to go down to build-a-bear to celebrate Chloe's birthday. I thought there was one in Ogden, but I didn't know the address, so I had Melissa call on the cell phone to find out. Surprise!! There is only one in SLC and Orem. With the girls all excited, of course we had to drive to SLC! When we were finding our parking spot they started chanting....Build-a-Bear! Build-a-Bear!! The excitement was building! They had a blast!! It was so fun to watch them! :)

Here they are rubbing their animals heart on theirs so it can love.

Here is Chloe at the washing station, before you go dress your animal.

This is Chloe's friend Lizzy. Chloe and Lizzy picked the same animal to stuff :)

Here are the girls with their finnished animals!

Here are all the girls (minus Abigail) heading out after their big day of shopping at Build-a-Bear!

Chloe picked Sonic drive-in for her birthday dinner. She wanted grilled cheese and to eat outside.

We got home too late to go to eat with Danny, so we postponed that and the cake until thursday. Chloe didn't seem to mind having her birthday last for two days! :)
