We've been a long time without a post here, but Daddy couldn't let today go by without celebrating a certain special someone's FIFTH (!) birthday.
The day started early...
Posing with her birthday "ring" -- well, normally it's a ring. Note the new additions near the centre: ballerina, number five, butterfly. Thanks, Aunt Monica!
Playing with her new Slinky. Yes, that classic toy from yesteryear... She's wanted one ever since seeing one demonstrated at our local science centre. Every empty box in the house was commandeered to create a makeshift Slinky run. (Yes, we like our Mandarin oranges around here.)
Other gifts included a stack of new Barbie clothes (home made, of course -- some created by Mama and some contributed by Aunt Deborah) and a set of wooden magnetic dress up dolls.

Eating breakfast from the good china: a tradition passed down from Mama's side of the family.
It will be a big day at school: the traditional Montessori birthday celebration (you can find a description from Gwendolyn's 2010 birthday post here) and then attendance at a play with the rest of her Kindergarten class. Then it's dinner out with the family, with White Spot the current restaurant of choice. A full day, yes?
And it doesn't end there... This coming Sunday, Gwendolyn will host some good friends at a -- wait for it -- paint splatter party! By then, she should be well and truly celebrated.
A very Happy Birthday to you, Gwendolyn!
