Alaina has been looking forward to turning five for so long! This year we actually made a count-down sticker chart to help her cope with the wait.
It wasn't just turning five that was so exciting, though.
Today Alaina also started her new ballet class. While she was gone I whipped up the pink heart cake that she requested.
Then Alaina came home and FINALLY got to open the gift she'd been wanting--and asking for every day--for the past six months :)
I don't know if I should actually admit that we bought it for her, but she really did love being able to hold the doll she'd been dreaming about!
Alaina had also been looking forward to celebrating with her grandparents and cousins, so luckily a few of them showed up :)
After the cake they cooled off in the backyard....
And the rest of the evening it's been coloring with the new dolls!
We are so grateful to have this sweet, loving little girl in our family and glad she was able to have some of her birthday wishes come true!

We love little Laina...she is such a sweetheart! I hope her doll lived up to her expectations:) I still can't get over how great that cake looks! You are going to have to teach me how to do it!
