Kya's Actual Birth-DAY

On Kya's actual birthday, she had preschool in the morning. She was very excited to go to school that day, because I had made cupcakes for the entire preschool (morning and afternoon classes). Her teacher made her a special Birthday Crown that she was able to wear all day. Because it was Kya's birthday, she was the line leader for the entire day and picked out the special song of the day for the class to sing.
Here Kya is acting very proud and shy all at the same time, while her classmates sing Happy Birthday.

All the kids wanted to see the cupcakes and couldn't wait to eat them. I hear they were a hit!

Her teacher, Ms. M, gave her a birthday present to open. It was a book about Fairies.

After school, we picked her up first and then went and picked up Daddy from his work before heading on over to Chuck E. Cheese.

A good time was had by all, until I noticed that Seth had some gunk coming out of his eye. I knew immediately that it was Pink Eye and that we needed to get out of there quickly and head on over to urgent care for some eye drops. First, we made a quick stop thru a fast food drive thru and dropped the girls and Wayne off at home so they could eat. After a rather quick doctor visit, we came back home to watch Kya open up her present from us.

All in all, I think Kya had a very good 5th birthday.

Happy 5th Birthday Kya!

Who could have ever guessed 5 years ago that this chubby, bald headed baby would grow up to be......

...to be this beautiful, fun loving kid with a gorgeous mane of hair! Kya, I remember looking at you the day you were born and just being in total awe that you were here and mine. I wondered what you would look like in 5 years and now I know! You by far surpassed my wildest dreams. How did 5 years pass by so quickly? I remember being terrified, because I was now responsible for your well-being. What if you got sick? What if other kids picked on you? I never wanted you to hurt, physically or emotionally, and yet I knew that there was no way I could prevent that from happening. Of course, my biggest wish/prayer is to see you come to know the Lord as your personal Savior. This is still my prayer! I love how you love to pray and sing. I love how you can light up any room you enter. I love to see how much you care for your siblings and friends. And now I am wondering what you will look like and be like in 5 more years. I am guessing that you will continue to be very pretty inside and out. I am guessing you will have lots of friends and will continue to be a great big sister. Heck, you might even be singing in Southland with your Daddy, praising God with your voice. Who knows, but I am excited to take this journey with you. We love you Kya and Happy Birthday!
