Another 1/2 Birthday Celebration

Earlier this week we celebrated Big Sister's half birthday.  She is beyond excited to be officially be 5 and 1/2!  We started the day off with pancakes for breakfast.  She asked for 6 candles in her pancake, since she wasn't just 5 anymore ; )

We had a nice day together at home, and for dinner Big Sister requested nachos and "pupcakes".

She has grown up so much since her birthday 6 months ago!  I'm enjoying our school year this year; her ability to learn constantly amazes me.  Her favorite subjects seem to be history and science (we're learning about US history and the human body in science), but she is doing well in every subject (even math, which gave us a bit of trouble last year).  She has such a kind heart, and is always making little presents for us.  She sometimes even surprises me by making our bed or helping with other chores around the house.  She's growing taller and her face is looking more grown up with each passing day.  She's such a big girl and loves her independence : )

Big Sister was super excited to get 2 new Peppa Pig shirts and bows to match
