Shae @ age 5

Shae-Shae’s 5th Bday Celebrations

Oh my firecracker of a little girl had a clear vision of what she wanted for her 5th birthday party and somehow this mommy just had to make it happen.  She wanted a pool party at the end of a cold May… Moana themed with a clear idea of her cake and who she wanted there.

Luckily I found a venue with a heated indoor pool, I can bake a cake and Moana things are easily found, phew!  Was hard work though!

We were blessed with the most amazing day on Sunday, it was actually quite hot.  The kids had such a blast swimming and sliding. It was hard getting them out of the pool, nobody wanted to leave.

Let me first share the cake.  Was so chuffed with how nice it came out, so colourful!

I combined Moana with a bit of an island-style theme.

Yesterday was little Miss Shae’s actual birthday and we took the day off to spend with her. First opening pressies at home and blowing candles, then birthday ring at school and then the rest of the day spent chilling and playing at home. Was a beautiful day.  Little Miss ordered soup for dinner, it’s her favourite meal and we played with dolls, drew and had so much fun.

I still can’t believe my baby is a whole hand old!

Little Miss Shae is 5!

My dearest, sweetest Shae-Shae

Oh how do I love thee. Let me count the ways.

I love your beautiful smile, so sweet and sincere – your face so lively. I love your sparkly, bright blue eyes, the way it looks right into my soul. I love how you know what you want, your strong personality and the way you can stand your ground.  I love how you put your arms around my neck and hug. I love how you like to sing and dance, always a spring in your step.  I love how you love your brother, although you can fight like cat and dog…mind you our cat and dog doesn’t fight like the two of you. But you always make up, and how you could stand up for each other, the way you let him carry you around, or cuddle in front of a movie when you allow it.  I love how you have your daddy in the palm of your hand.  I love how deeply you care for so many people, how you love them all.  I love how funny you can be.   I love how you can be a tomboy the one minute and a proper princess the next.  You are a sweetheart, my Shae.

And now you are 5.  You brought us 5 years of joy and laughter.  We are so lucky to have you, our own little princess and I thank God for giving you to us.  I always dreamed of having a little girl and now I have you and just thinking of you make me smile.

Happy birthday my little darling.  May you always have sunshine and happiness in your life.  You are one amazing girly and we love you dearly.

All my love
Mommy
