Alexa is FIVE!

The main thing Alexa wanted to do
for her birthday was get her
EARS PIERCED!
We went the night before her birthday,
and she was so excited
and so brave!

The morning of her birthday, we celebrated a little before Tyler went to work.
She opened presents and we made her feel special :)
For her party this year
(which she had been planning for about six months now!)
she was excited to have a RAINBOW PONY PARTY!
Her birthday ended up falling on a playgroup day,
so we had it during playgroup!
Alexa with her friends...and her rainbow cupcakes!
yes, even the cake part is rainbow!




Alexa had a game on her birthday!
Go Alexa!


Karli found some of the best places to watch the game that day! :)

May 14 Dear Cutest Shelley Family,
We loved seeing your fun birthday party, friends, cupcakes (way to go Kristi. Darling rainbows) Your posters for the birthday boy and girl were awesome too. You are so lucky to have a trampoline. Just don't start jumping across the fence. How fun to have your ears pierced Alexa. You are so pretty and sweet. Tyler, What a guy to go camping with the scouts on your Birthday. Glad you had fun with your kids today. Love you guys. We're so excited to see you in Oceanside!!! Love, Grandma & Grandpa Shelley
