Happy Birthday Molly

Molly turned 5 this year!  

For her birthday we went to Leo’s Place with our friends Farrah, Kaiden and Sage.  I let the kids have some tokens to play in the arcade which is a novelty because I think it’s a huge waste of money, but Molly and Sage both won 500 tickets so there were a lot of tickets which made it super fun for them all.

We hurried home because that morning we had text about 5 of her friends to see if they could come play in the back yard for a few hours.  We borrowed grandma’s bouncy slide and the kids just played and had a great time. 

We had also invited all her cousins and grandparents over to our house that night for cake & ice cream.  It was Dustin’s last night of scouts and because it was Molly’s birthday he didn’t go so he invited them all over for cake as well.  It was a great time.  Right before they all got there the ice cream truck drove by and just because it was Molly's birthday (even though we were about to have a treat) I said yes.

We also had a piñata full of prizes and treats which was Molly’s favorite.  We got lucky because the day before her birthday our friends had just had a Frozen themed party and let us borrow all of their decorations for Molly’s party.

Molly is such a fun girl.  She has a super laid back and outgoing personality which is nice at times yet also frustrating at times.  Not much shyness in this girl though.  She loves to play rough which works out for her Braithwaite cousins and boy friends, other 4-5 year old girls aren't too sure of it though.  She is trying to learn boundaries now and doing much better socially.  She is usually the first one done with her chores so she can watch TV or play with friends.   She loves, loves the Ipad and playing new games on it. She loves to sing and memorizes songs quickly.    She "thinks" she has a boyfriend named Arthur which is a cute little boy in our ward.  She blushes and the whole bit when we talk about him.  I try not to encourage it too much.  

She is truly a blessing to our family!  We love her so much and are grateful Heavenly Father allowed her to be a part of our family.
