For Chrissie's birthday breakfast she chose: german pancakes with blackberries and strawberries, orange juice, and bacon-lots of bacon. The best present was that her daddy's morning case got cancelled and he was able to come home for her birthday breakfast.
The presents this year included lots of books and a golf club from her Dad. Fortunately Chrissie was delighted when she opened the books. Once, she squealed, "A Bird Book!"
Matthew got a dragon book, which he was actually stoked about. Jane got a bow for her hair, which she ripped out immediately.
We feel so blessed to have Chrissie as our oldest. She's a wonderful example of true kindness and love. My favorite quote from Chrissie from this year,"Mom, I have a happy feeling in my heart!" And that is Chrissie in a nut-shell.
On this fine day, Chrissie taught me a lot about the capabilites of a five year old; life is so different from that of a four year old, who knew? She's taller (she measure herself to various pieces of furniture through out the house), she can hold a glass cup, she can hold a plate-with one hand. She can jump higher.... Throughout this special day Chrissie continued to demonstrate her five-year old skills.
