hannah's 5th birthday

Vivienne saying hello to Stacy upon arrival at the dance studio

Despite the costume and girlie nature of the party, Viv was kinda cranky

She could not be convinced to smile

Reuben, on the other hand, was having a great time

The birthday girl showing me her craft

The girls listening intently to the dance instruction

If you look closely in the mirror, you can see where Viv spent most of the party

This is where she stayed

Madelyn also stuck close to her mama

The only time she perked up was during the ballet portion

She does love ballet

Annabelle is a dancing pro

Cathryn and I convinced the girls to dance together

But Madelyn wouldn't have it and joined in

Hannah loving the parachute

Annabelle's turn

Madelyn's turn (Viv opted out)

Cake time!

She didn't really even enjoy her cupcake and ended the party with one of those melt downs where people come to check to make sure I'm not abusing her. It was a lovely party.

I didn't want to transition Viv to an unrestrained bed until I was confident she would stay there and not get in and out at her leisure. So far, so good. Luckily Avery is in the room to regulate.

Luckily she is small and we can get away with just taking the side off of the crib. A twin bed will have to wait.

She was pretty thrilled with her new arrangement
