I know that every Mom feels this way but how can my little girl be 5 already! It is just crazy to me how fast times flies! Because we don't live in a place that has anything we had to go down to Salina to get Lizzy's present and October was insane with how busy we were, so it was Lizzy's birthday and we still hadn't gotten her a present, so I dropped Lizzy off at preschool and made the hour trek with Nellie and Jane to Salina to get Lizzy's bike. I was planing on getting her a Hello Kitty purple bike, but when I saw this Barbie bike that was very fancy, I knew Lizzy would like it better. She has been really into Barbies lately.
When we got home and unpacked the bike for her she loved it, but she was disappointed that there weren't any presents the she got to unwrap. We told her that Sunday we would have a birthday party for her and there would be presents for her to unwrap. She was quite alright with having another day that would be all about her.
Lizzy really has wanted a flower cake, and I just didn't want to spend the money to buy another expensive shaped pan so I just made this one up myself, It definitely wasn't my best cake I have made, but I had to make it when we got home from trick-or-treating and I didn't get done until almost 11:00 that night. When Lizzy woke up the next morning and saw it she was so excited and said "it's beautiful Mom!" So as long as she like it and thought it looked good, that was all that mattered.
After cake Lizzy opened presents and that is when Nellie started freaking out, she wanted to open a present and Lizzy wouldn't let her. Nellie went in our bedroom and shut the door and cried. It was sad. The good thing is Christmas is close, so I just went in there and told her after everyone left we could go online and look at some things she could get for Christmas. That helped a little.
Lizzy got a microphone and an amplifier from Grammie and Papi and that was such an awesome present because she is such a singer and she loves to hear herself on the microphone. She got CD's from the Leavitts, s that she could sing along to them and she loves to sing along. She got a barbie and pretty horse from Grandma and Grandpa, it was great because it got there the next day, so she got to extend her birthday out over a week. Thanks everyone for the presents, Lizzy loved them all.
