My little girl turned 5, Nov 8th!! She got a pink pen from her Teacher, Miss Hanson, and that has got to be her most prized possession (it's not even a gel pen.) We had the whole princess themed party. Three friends came to celebrate with us, along with Nana. Papa. the Aunties and Silly Matt! Abby had a special gift from Papa, a trip to the Park at Moa (aka Camp Snoopy- I still call Macy's downtown, Dayton's.) Abby got to choose one friend to come along. She chose to bring Ella, my best friends' little girl. Ella and Abby had so much fun taking full advantage of their unlimited ride wrist bands until the "ghost ride." Abby and Ella wanted to go on this particular ride because they got to shoot ghosts. Charlie fully explained to them that it was a scary ride, but the girls were determined and brave. The ride takes you inside what seems to be a faux haunted house. "ghosts" appear and you have the option of shooting them and than they go away. Somewhere along the way it got a little too scary and we could hear the girls above the noise of the park from with in the ride. When the ride was over I grabbed the girls and calmed them. Charlie comes over to me and tells me Abby had 90 ghost hits! All and All I would say it was an excellent 5th Birthday.
This Weekend we took the kids to see Santa at MOA. He is the greatest and "the real Santa!" He really takes his time with all the kids and really does what he can to make sure that the they are comfortable, he really gets kiddos and understands how intimidating his appearance might be to the little ones. In past years he would just sneak up behind Abby, I would get my photo and she didn't even know that it had even happened. Now that Abby is 5 she had a big discussion with Santa. He made sure that she picks up her toys, sleeps in her own bed, and brushes her teeth and Abby made sure he knew what she wanted! I really recommend this Santa- he is really worth the little extra wait!!!
Here are some good ones:
