(Be warned, lots and lots of pictures to follow)
Today was Lilly's 5th Birthday and she started Kindergarten. I kept telling her that was the perfect way to make friends. Show up with cupcakes the first day of school. She has been so excited for so long. She even got up on time, which you guys know is a big deal. She loves her sleep. Especially sleeping in late in the morning.
Today Mary started 4th grade and Zane started 6th. Next year I will have one in middle school and one in high school. I think I just aged myself. The kids were so excited to start school and they love their new teachers. Jack, my nephew, is living with us right now also and started. He also scored with his teacher. It looks like it is going to be a great year.
The sun was bright. I think that is the reason for the crazy face.
Mary came over to check on Lilly while waiting for the bell. They still look a little tired
Mary and her friends were so glad to see each other. She looks so much older.

Lilly was able to bring her teddy bear for comfort. It was cute to watch all the kids with their stuffed animal to help them survive. 
Lilly's teacher made her feel so special for her birthday.
She got to wear the crown all day. She then wore it at home again that evening.

He she is trying to figure out how to sign I love you. Kind of hard for those little fingers.
Lilly's teacher read them The Kissing Hand. All the parents were allowed to stay and watch and listen. Such a sweet story. She wore her hand necklace until this morning when she got dressed. She was disappointed when she got to school without it.
Success!

Success!She ran out to greet me with a huge smile on her face.
She wanted to go to Claire's to spend some of her Birthday money she received. So she bought a necklace and sunglasses. She had more fun picking out that stuff. 
School was very overwhelming and she still has no bones in her neck. She completely folds in half when she falls asleep in the car. I left is on the side because I feel bad for her neck. thought maybe this would help.
One of her birthday presents was a new bike. We added the basket with the "stuff" inside.

Lilly picked Red Robin for dinner. Her favorite place.
They of course have macaroni and cheese. Of course better than what we can make at home for some reason. They sang to her and brought her an ice cream sundae. What could make a 5 year old happier? They tied balloons to her spoon. That is how.
Birthday cake and presents at home.
An old fashion gum ball machine. She is all the kids best friend.
She wanted a remote control car. So we found her one of a jeep just like her dad. She wanted make up, jewelry, princess phone and remote control jeep. You have to love little girls. They are all girl with a little love of cars. I haven't been able to get her off her bike since she got it.
And then it was off to bed. It was 10:30 before were able to get her to sleep. She was so wound up. So this morning when I tried to wake her up I was told that she was busy. We made it though. She had another wonderful day. So did the other kids.
