Apri turned 5!?

How did this happen!! I can not believe how fast time flies. I have a 5 year old! CRAZY! Apri had her fifth birthday while everyone was here visiting. Her birthday was the Sunday after we move into our new house. I thought after only a week we pulled off a pretty good birthday party for her. I even made her the Rapunzel cake she had requested. I think it turned out really nice. We decided to get her something extra special for her birthday. A trip to Disneyland!!! To tell her the news Erika and Samantha helped me put together a scavenger hunt. At the end of the hunt she got a Rapunzel Doll with a note from Rapunzel that explained to Apri that she was going to go to Disneyland.

It was funny we thought she would freak out and scream but she didn't. She was more excited about the doll. She did get excited the next day when we actually went to Disneyland.

We had a nice celebration with everyone! It was special that some family got to be here with us!
