Marian's 5th Brithday!!!!

Well the pics here ended up in completely random order, so bear with me :o)
I really can't believe that she is 5.  Where did the time go?  I can believe Dani is 2 and Reed is 6, but Marian 5? Wow!
 All the kids could talk about for the up coming weeks was getting to see Chuck E Cheese! (he is more popular than Micky Mouse at our house)
 I love those cups, they make such cute pics :o)
 Even daddy got into the Cheese man a bit :o)
 Reed is such a game addict :o)  I had to explain to him about the football game.  He was telling me that you had to knock down the bad guys in that game.  So I told him the game was about trying to get the ball across the goal line.  He seemed a bit confused, and asked if you were supposed to hit the other guys, so I said yes and he was happy. :o) Boys.
 Marian loves to be a little mother, she ended up carting her cousin Kaitlyn around most of the night.  She would help her get up on a ride and then after it was done, she would say "jump!" and have Kaitlyn jump into her arms and then she would carry her over to the next ride and do it all over again! :o) I was really cute to watch.



 The boys and their toys.  Reed and Daddy shooting at something.

 They never noticed when Dani snuck up and tried to play too.
 Marian, having a blast for her birthday!!!
 Dani and Kaitlyn
 Bop the sharks! and Dani playing the football game :o)

 Here the kids (after waiting so patiently) got to meet and give hugs, and knuckles to, the infamous Chuck E Cheese! Just look at their faces!  This was more anticipated than Christmas!

 Even Dani mustered up enough courage to slap the big guy some skin and give him a hug, once, after that as soon as he looked at her she would run away screaming :o) (until he gave her a piece of candy, than she said "Chuck E Cheese loves me, he not eat me!")
 Grandma and Grandpa Shepherd got Marian a jewelry music box.  That and her my little pony have been the hit of the night.  (and the two most played with!) Grandma Shepherd even made the little bracelets that have her name Marian Rose on them, and one that says Love you.  So cute! I heard that Grandpa also has some sheep up at his place.  Won't Marian be surprised :o)





 The "Kid" table :o)
All the kids got to help make the cake (Dani was so excited to be able to  help, she ran and got Jeff after put a cup of water in because she was so excited)  Marian wanted the pooh bear candle on there too.


 Reed and Grandpa shooting the bad guys together

 Reed getting ready to play the football game :o)
 Dani playing duckies
Marian finally got to ride this, she has been asking about it for about a year now :o)
Well Happy Birthday Bean!!!!

I know!!! I kept thinking she was going to be 4. I kind of wish she could have gone to kindergarten this year I think she would have been fine. I wish there was a way to test into school if they turn 5 that year. Oh well, she likes pre-school.

Wow---5 already! I was just thinking about how the year is ending, and Kaia won't be in "Sunbeams" at church anymore, and ... that she will be 5 in April! I just about died! When did they grow up? It looks like they had a ton of fun at Chuck E Cheese! And I love Dani's comment about him eating her! What a funny peek into her little mind!
