Celebrating Georgia Kate's 5th Birthday!

Our birthday girl had a weekend full of celebrations!  She was so excited she could hardly sleep on one of her last night's as a four year old...

The weekend started off with a super special first trip to the American Girl store with Mumsie, Grandma, and Alli!  Earlier that day I gave her my first American Girl, Samantha, and Mumsie got Georgia and Samantha matching dresses! We took her with us to the store and got her hair restyled and her nails painted!  





After the salon we walked around before our dinner reservation.  Georgia was in awe of the the whole store and I loved watching her run around and look at everything!  She got to pick out her birthday gifts from Grandma, Mumsie, and Alli!  She is such a lucky girl!  

We finished our evening with dinner at the Bistro and it was DARLING.  The whole experience was so much fun and I know the birthday girl felt very special!  


Happy girl!

The next morning we had a unicorn themed ceramics painting party with a few of GK's school and small group friends!











We did some evening swimming on Georgia's last day as a four year old...



On Sunday she woke up as a FIVE year old!

Her actual birthday was very low key.  We hung around the house and played until meeting the fam for a birthday dinner at Freddy's (birthday girl's choice)! :) 

This was also Perry's last night as an only child - baby brother was born the next day! :) 

Chris made her a cookie cake completely on his own!  He was very proud.



We loved celebrating you, Georgia Kate!!! 

Georgia Kate is 5!



Our Georgia Peach is FIVE years old today!

I always say that our girl is sugar and lots of SPICE. ;)

*SWEET - She is affectionate, generous, LOVES babies and animals.
She loves snuggling and giving hugs and kisses.    
She is sooo sweet with Perry and Rhett.  She is beyond thrilled that she has baby Luke to love on now too!  She fell in love with horses this summer at her day of horse camp and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before she wants her own.  

*SPICE - She is hilarious, messy, strong-willed,
passionate, a free spirit, and can throw a tantrum like NO other. 
She can hold her own with her two brothers and I love that!

 *She loves her dollhouse, arts and crafts, dancing, and books!  GK and I love reading together and it's time with her that I cherish.
