Celebrating 5 years of Amelia Marie

We celebrated Amelia's 5th birthday this past week. It's cool to think that I have a 5 year old! I'm so thankful that God gave her to us to raise and enjoy. I thought it would be fun to talk through her past birthdays and see how she's changed. I enjoy making her birthday cakes each year and included those in the pictures also.

Her day of birth.




When she was born Ian and I talked about the theme of her first birthday party. We decided Care Bears would be fun and it was a perfect theme. Here is her cake (which she didn't eat by the way).




One of my favorite family pictures. Taken at her 1st birthday party.




Celebrating year #2 with a Strawberry Shortcake cake. Love the hair!




Just like the picture says, Amelia turns 3!




Year number 4- here I come...




The caterpillar cake for year 5.




Celebrating her special day with cousins.

Happy birthday Amelia!! I can't believe she is five already?! It seems like you were just walking around the office pregnant with her. I love all the cakes you made for her, I remember that care bear cake :).

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! Amelia is beautiful and precious. I hope you had a great birthday experience with her this year. She's almost half way to being a teenager.

I love that you started thinking about a 1st birthday theme when she was born. I have a month to go before Kalyn's birthday and I still have no idea what to do ... well I know one thing ... I may need your advice on how to make a stinkin' awesome cake. Those are amazing. Happy Birthday to Amelia.
