Alice is 5!

Our sweet Alice Pearl turned five earlier this week. I still can't believe it. It feels like yesterday that she was born. As with every birthday in our house, the day began with pancakes and presents...

To celebrate our Alice, we couldn't have a big birthday party with all of her friends, but we did have a small party with family. Her cousins, grandparents, aunt, and uncle joined us for cake and presents.

Nothing cuter than blue icing mustaches when you are 5!

Even though this birthday was a lot different than last year's, it was still a very special time celebrating our sweet Alice. 

Alice Pearl, it is such a privilege to be your mom. You are kind, generous, funny, and so loving. You are gentle and helpful with your baby sister, so good at riding your two-wheel bicycle, and you give the best hugs! I love you so much, and I pray God's blessings upon this year of your life. You are and will always be a TREASURE.
