She turned 5!

As of 2:32 AM on the 13th, our littlest princess is 5, and we have officially moved completely out of the baby/toddler world.

She asked if I was going to streamer her door, which I hadn't planned on, but of course I had to once she'd asked. She was pretty excited about it when she woke up.

 

For breakfast she requested yogurt. To make it a little special, I turned it into a parfait with granola, bananas, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. She also got to drink some powerade from a champagne flute.

Of course Kiersten had to have the same when she woke up.

After Grandma and Grandpa Boot got here, it was time for her to open gifts.

Such a happy baby!

Ben was very anxious for her to open the Elsa dress he ordered for her.

She wanted to try it on immediately.

Cute and fancy princess. She is pretty thrilled with the dress, and I have to say it is quite fancy.

It wasn't easy talking her out of wearing it to the movies. But she did end up going in her party dress instead.

He even got her the matching fancy shoes.

They all had a few minutes to play with Evie's new toys, and then we went to see the Minion movie. They all liked it pretty well. Kiersten only cried twice.

After the movie, we got some sorbet, and then Grandma and Grandpa took her to pick out a gift from them. Her palace pet collection is now complete. That afternoon/evening, we had the swim team awards night/party. So that was a pretty fun way for her to finish up an already exciting day. Kiersten got Most Improved award for her age group, and they were all pretty tickled about that.
