Aspen turns 5!!

Back in August, on the 17th our sweet little Aspen turned 5. She was so excited for this birthday and has been waiting for it for the past 2 years, (since Kaylee started school) so she could finally be old enough for her to start school.

I feel so bad, My mom took me and Aspen shopping for school and out to lunch for her birthday, but I didn't think to take my camera to get any pictures. She was so excited to spend the day with grandma, without the other kids. I know it was very special for her, and she had a great time. Thanks mom!!!

This is at Grandma Snyders house at a little birthday party, opening her presents from grandma. She spoiled her with clothes for school. She also got the movie Rio which has been a life saver- it's really the only movie Caden will sit down and watch for more than 2 mins.

Thanks Grandma Snyder!!

This was on her actual birthday at our house. Nothing fancy for the cake, she just wanted to make it so its decorated by her with her pretty sparkles.

Her with her presents. She got lots of things to help her get ready for school.

And her favorite, her very own scooter. She rides her sisters broken scooter for literally hours every day. She loved to ride them, so she got a new one that actually goes when you turn the handle bars, and they are straight. She was really happy and has loved it.

Trying it out. (dont mind the naked Briggs trying to scope it out too.)

Aspen is so stinkin sweet. She brings so much joy and love in to our houses. She is definitely the most loving kid we have in an outgoing kind of way. She loves to cuddle, and would do it all day if we would allow it, or had the time for it. She loves babies and is a great help. She is very tender hearted and sweet. She is learning so much in Kindergarten and progressing quickly. She is a peacemaker, and puts up with a lot of stuff from her little brother. Shes very social and loves to play with her friends. She is our girly girl, but she is also starting to be more adventurous and doing more tough girl things. Shes a spas- when she gets rialed up, she is crazy and cant stop laughing!! Shes very ticklish. She hates to wear pants- Like at all. She would much rather a skirt then shorts, but no pants. I'm a little worried for when it gets a little colder and I will have to force her in pants for school. She has beautiful hair! She gets tons of compliments from strangers of how gorgeous her hair is. Some people call her Rapunzel.
We love you so much and are so glad you are in our family- your like our ray of sunshine. Keep your sweet spirit and fun personality!!
