Gianna's 5th Birthday

Gianna turned 5 on August 18th. The kids were out of school for her birthday, so we got to spend the day together. The morning started with birthday toast.

She opened a few presents

Nana stopped by with some balloons and candy

We went to lunch and Daddy met us

We went to the mall for her to do Build a Bear

She picked a rainbow leopard and named her Flower

We love our G Girl!

After the mall, we went to jump at Area 51 and some of the cousins came

All the kids had fun trying out the different areas.

The night ended with us eating Chinese food, because that's her favorite

And that's Papa watching the man make sushi behind the counter :)

On Saturday the 20th, she had a Shopkins bowling party at Quarters Entertainment

The birthday girl with all her cousins. It ended up being a family party.

She was so excited to finally get a Yeti cup!

We enjoyed celebrating our sweet girl. She makes us laugh with how she talks and expresses herself. She is a little Mama, being caring and nurturing. She is grateful when we do things for her and always says thank you. She continues to be a chatter box and story teller.

Love my little family!

A dress she got as one of her gifts

Her ziggle came in after the party, now she has her own pink one.

Here is her 5 year old interview

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances. Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young. We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas. My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk. I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch. We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville. The food was really good.
