Chloe's birthday

Chloe will always remember her 5th birthday....just not for the reasons I would hope. She will always remember that her mom didn't take enough pictures, didn't make the day quite as special as it should have been. Alas the birthday celebrations were crippled by a mom who had to rely heavily on everyone else to make it happen. Sorry Chloe, next year will be better I promise!
Here are the few pictures of the birthday party. Chloe decided that she wanted a make over party. She wanted to have a nail salon, make up station, and hair styling. For party favors we found some cute purses and filled them with mirrors, lip gloss, and nail polish for all 15 girls.

Chloe with her birthday friends:

The new bike. Funny story #1. All of Chloe's presents (with the exception of the bike) were wrapped by Trent's chair. Chloe walked past... then turned back around when it dawned on her that those were HER presents. "Mom, you forgot to wrap one!!" Hmmm... I wonder why?


One of Chloe's favorite presents was her own bottle of perfume! She has been saving her money for her own bottle of perfume. By the day's end...half the bottle was gone. Needless to say she loved it!


Funny story #2. There is a yummy snow cone place by our house called Surf Shack. Sadly every September we say goodbye to Surf Shack goodness and anxiously await its summer arrival. This year Surf Shack opened early (May 15th). We could hardly wait and talked about it often with our friends. One such friend, Tabi, loves Surf Shack too and gave Chloe aSurf Shack gift certificate for her birthday present. This picture was taken upon opening the gift certificate. She was a little excited about it!
