Birthday Pics

Jordan had a really fun 5th birthday last week. It was good that we had the birthday fun because the weather was so incredibly cold and school was cancelled twice. She did get her ears pierced and didn't even bat an eye when the earrings went in. I love the picture of her excitement when she opened her new coat...what child gets that excited for a coat? Her friend party was held at The Painted Penguin. It was perfect for her since she loves crafts and art. I love this kid.

I Am Five!

Happy 5th Birthday to my sweet Jordan! The time has flown by, and she is so excited to finally be five. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet! What a joy it has been to have Jordy (Beans) in our family. Those who know her, know what a great girl she is and how easy she is to have around. Some more things to remember about our birthday girl-

-She loves everything artsy and is very creative. She loves projects and painting and coloring and crafts. Recently, she and I have been working on her preschool scrapbook together.

-She loves her sisters and will do anything for them, especially for Regan. Jordan is unselfish and happy to share anything. She is so excited about her baby brother's upcoming birth- she even made him a crown at preschool.

-Jordan is practical with lots of common sense...in fact this year for her birthday she told me that she had enough toys and would rather have gifts she could use!

-Jordan has always been ultra independent- we have joked that if she was left alone, she could easily take care of herself. The other night she did a hard puzzle all by herself, very persistant.

-At first, Jordan can be quiet and shy but as people get to know her, they find out what a fun-loving, silly person she can be.

Happy Birthday! We love you so much! Today's plans include baking her cake, birthday treats for school, a trip to the mall to get her ears pierced and dinner at Applebee's.
