The birthday girl with the Fancy Fairy

 

 

Tiaras, tutus, jewels and more filled the park for the Fancy Natasha Soiree (that's a fancy word for party).  For those not familiar it was based on the Fancy Nancy books.  Everyone had a magnificent time (that means very good).  

 



The Big 5!!

Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl!  We can't believe you are 5 years old.  You are the most caring, intelligent, beautiful and thoughtful girl we know.  We love your spunkiness, creativity and your desire to sing an dance.  We are so blessed that you belong to us. You are not only the best big sister to Nikolaus, but you are a great older cousin to Brooks and Evvie.

 



  Brooks and Auntie Lizzy joined us at

California Adventure for Natasha's birthday.

 It was also share day.  She shared her new

necklace that she bought with her own money

 at the Disney Store. 

 

 

Here is to five more years, and five more after that, and five more after that and so on.  We love you with all our hearts.  Now let's celebrate with a Fancy party!
