Happy Birthday Dacia, Part 1

Yesterday we went out to Tooele to celebrate Dacia's birthday with my family. Her actual birthday is the 10th, but since it was our week to go out there we figured we would just celebrate while we were all together.

This is our little girl on her 1st Bday.

(we hadn't gone digital yet, so these are our earliest pictures of Dacia on the computer)

And this is our little girl now. I can't believe she is turning 5.


Dacia was a little excited after dinner and wanted to get to the birthday stuff. After I teased with her a bit about it not really being her birthday and she had to wait until Tuesday then she replied but there's cake in the fridge (it's gotta be her birthday since there's cake), then we let her start opening presents. Dacia scored big with the presents and there is still more to come.

Grandma & Grandpa bought her a new nightgown.

and a ream of paper.

Dacia loves to draw. They gave her a pack of colored construction paper too.

And a jumprope, which she was totally excited about. Good thing Grandma bought 2 and Dacia is nice to share with her sister or we could have had a major meltdown yesterday.

She got a CTR bank, Nephi's Courage card game, Candyland game beach towel and lots of cute outfits

Dacia wanted a Supergirl cake this year. I really like making my kids cake and the girls get really excited watching me make them.

( I used the same method with Ashlyn's Dora cake. Arranging cupcakes together and them frosting them.)


Tonight we are doing part 2 of her birthday and going swimming. We were originally going to do the zoo today, but Dacia decided that she wanted to go to the pool more than the zoo.
