Cara woke up Thursday as a 5 year old!
Time has flown by - this blog has been going on for over 5 years!
She requested breakfast in bed - specifically pancakes with a candle in bed :)
So we started her special day out in that special way!
After a fun day at school (with cupcakes!) she waited sort of patiently for Daddy to get home from work so she could open her presents. She was so happy to get a Merida doll from Gwen!
Cara's face when she realized a gift card means she gets to go shopping!
She was so happy to get a magic kit from Mommy and Daddy!
She's already learned a couple of cool tricks.
Blowing out 5 candles!
Our sweet 5 year old girl!
The Birthday Party
We decided this year to have a joint party for the girls. With their birthdays so close and since they share most friends we thought it would be nice just to do one party. But each girl wanted their own theme - so we had a Wizard of Oz party for Cara and a My Little Pony party for Gwen.
It ended up with 8 kids + our 2 and a whole lot of fun crammed into 2.5 hours!
Gwen's Pony cake!
Cara's Oz cake!
Gwen working on her craft - A Glinda the Good Witch Wand.
Pin the Tail on Rainbow Dash!
And Pin the Heart of the Tinman!
Cara and her friends singing Happy Birthday (the first time).
Happy 5 year old!
All the kids but one not in the pic.
So many kids in the house!
Gwen was so happy to hear Happy Birthday the second time just to her!
And she loved her Pony cake so much.

Gwen blowing out her 3 candles!
Gift opening was insane!
The decor had a blend of both themes ;)
It was our first snow storm the day of the party so some fresh flowers brightened the mood.
Cara made this set up for some Oz decor - cheetah became the Cowardly Lion and the blue dog is Toto :)
A fun party and we might just do a joint one again some time.
