Brianna's 5th Birthday

April 30th Brianna turned five years old which according to her is "not that young." Mom was not ready for this mile stone and tried cancelling the birthday but that idea was shot down by Brianna. She wanted to have a sleepover for her birthday so we had a party with family and friends and then the cousins stayed for a sleepover. A big thanks to Grammy (Aunt Bobbie) and Sonia for their help with the kids at the party. Hard to believe she is 5 already.
My baby is 5 :(

The party was over and the sleepover with cousins began. In pajamas and playing a game. They ran up and down the stairs and yelled and had a wonderful time and then settled down to a game.

Watching a movie and "resting to get our energy back"
After the movie all but one, who fell asleep during the movie, were up and running and playing again. It was then after 11 pm (Felt like later to me!) I finally put Kierra to bed and popped some pop corn for the others.
After midnight and still playing except for poor Megan who was trying to sleep.
Around 12:30 and 2 more gave up and went to sleep.
The last 2 still going strong at almost 1 am.
Finally at about 1:15 am the last two, Emily and Brianna, decided to give it up and go to sleep. So now all is peace and quiet in the house and Mom is headed to bed before they start waking up again.
