Sydney is 5

Holy moly... where did the time go?  It seems like yesterday she was a baby and now she is an independent 5 year old.  Sweet, kind, caring, sensitive and gentle is how I would describe our Syd Syd.  She is a people-pleaser and loves to see people happy!  She is the BEST big sister and would do anything for Cole.  I love being around her and enjoy her perspective on life.  I wish more people were like her - the world would be a better place.

We had  Uncle Mark, Nani & Poppa, Brian & Hollie & the Ducotes over to celebrate Sydney

Opening presents in her tiara! Ha!

Sweet Julia is the only one who would look at the camera

We walked/biked to the ferry landing beach to burn off some energy before dinner.  Trying to get a decent pics of the cousins was challenging, to say the least

Then we played in the water for awhile...

Back to the house for dinner and cake!

The next morning she was up and already into her presents... 

She's 5!!!

The Monday after her birthday daddy took off and the two of them had a special day at Knotts Berry Farm.  She won a hello kitty playing arcade games and then wanted to bring Cole home something so talked daddy into winning a batman for him.

Happy Birthday, Sweet girl.  We love you.
