Our Mia is five! Five years old is a big deal around here. It's the year you are officially allowed to have makeup, the year you are allowed to have a pet (though we will be waiting until construction is finished this time), it is the year in which you move from being a preschooler to a school-kid, it's a Big Deal! 
This year, Mia had her birthday party at Pump it Up the week before her actual birthday, since she shared her big day with Fathers' Day. On the actual day, we spent the morning searching out chocolate chip pancakes. It appeared many many others had the same idea, so we stopped at Starbucks instead and moved the pancake feast to lunch in order to make it to church on time.
Presents in the afternoon, a few phone calls, a pizza dinner and a double-decker cake finished off the day for both Mia and Patrick, stuffed to the brim with sugar and love.
For Mia, this was the epitome of greatness. After watching almost all of her preschool friends turn 5 throughout the year and feeling a bit left behind, it was finally HER TURN! Waiting is really really hard when you're not quite 5 and you count every month until you get there.
Patrick was very gracious for sharing his day (and his cake) with Mia, and enjoyed the homemade picture frames from the girls as well as the chance to spend all day together as a family.
Happy Father's Day to a Great Daddy!
And Happy Birthday to my Mia Bug!
