The Big 5!

Gwendalin's birthday was on October 24 - she turned 5 this year....we made it a huge deal! We had her birthday party a week early on the 17th because I was out of town on the actual day. We had a big party doing make-up for the girls, playing games, decorating cupcakes, playing outside, presents, etc. It was a blast and I only had it last for an hour and a half so I am still sane. She invited 8 little friends. Here are few photos documenting the event! At the bottom is a list of things Gwendalin likes right now.
