Maura was so very excited about her birthday this year. Turning five years old meant that she could have her first birthday party with friends. She decided to invite all of the children in her preschool class and a few from church as well. We held her party at a local children's museum and they had this cake made for her party which was themed around butterflies and flowers.
Maura and Lilian found these butterfly costumes and had a lot of fun "flying" around the museum together. It was great creative play. The children also played in the store area, on the farm, climbed the rock wall and loved the arts and crafts room.
All of the children were able to do some arts and crafts in the party room. They were working on a butterfly project here. It was so funny to listen to their conversations because they had been together so much this year, that they banter back and forth like siblings. We heard one of the kids say to a classmate, "We know, you've told us like a million times!" The museum employees thought they were hilarious. We were just glad that they came because it made Maura's day.
Her is our birthday girl, so excited to be five and to blow out the candles!
Maura opened some cute presents from her friends at the museum party, but on her birthday she opened presents at home that were sent by her grandparents and from our family. She was thrilled to finally get a Zhu-Zhu pet or two!
Happy Birthday Maura!! I cannot believe that you are already five years old, it is making daddy and I feel a little old. Our baby girl is growing up and soon you will be off to kindergarten!
