Happy 5, MJ!!

The whole gang at MJ's zoo party: Isaac, Natalie, Annika, Becca, MJ, Meghan, Sarah, Charlie.

Amy helped herd kids at the zoo -- thanks, Amy!


"I want the piece with the elephant face!" (i.e. the most frosting)










MJ and Sarah, her buddy from Brownies. Sarah's mom and I lead the Brownie troop so Sarah and MJ always get to play during the meetings.

Celebrating with our birthday ring at home.


Opening all the fun presents from aunts, uncles and grandparents -- thanks, everyone!


Every year Scott writes b-day notes to the kids and does a great job of summing up their personalities and the qualities that make them special. This year's note to MJ accentuated her cheerfulness, which is almost always apparent when you're around her. As Scott said, you can't help being happy when you're around Mary Jane. So to wish her a Happy B-day is to just send back a bit of that happiness that she sends to us daily. WE LOVE YOU, peanut.
