Nixon Turns 5!!!

Nixon Grace turned 5 on 

the 15th of December.

5 years! Wow! I remember holding 

her in my arms, as I am now 

holding Lottie, like it was yesterday. 

She has turned into a sweet

sassy

fun-loving 

precious little girl. 

Nixon is a wonderful big sister. 

I know that's what all

 moms say about their 

oldest but I really mean it!

Isla is her best friend. 

They come home from MDO and 

play barbies, school, or 

"fashion girl" for hours everyday.

 I am  told when I am not around 

she takes care of Isla, making sure

 no one messes with her 

and she doesn't get scared.

Roman adores Nixon. 

Isla and Roman fight like cats and

 dogs but not Nix and Roman. 

No matter if he hits, bites or takes 

her toys she always remains calm

 and like a mother corrects him.  

She gets so excited when he says a new word.

She loves her baby brother!

And of course she is a HUGE

 helper when it comes to Lottie. 

She likes helping with diaper changes, 

picking out her clothes, and 

bringing her toys to play with. 

She is always wanting to

 hold Lottie like a baby doll. 

I love it when I often hear her say,

"I have the best family ever!"

But because December was such 

a crazy month and we did not know 

when Lottie would make her grand 

entrance, we decided to have her 

birthday party in January. 

(which has now been moved to February)

We woke up on her birthday to 

find that Casey the Elf had

 hung balloons and streamers around

 the house to celebrate her birthday! 

She was excited to blow out her 

candles and get a prize at school!

She specifically asked 

to have pink and purple 

cupcakes and icecream brought 

to school to share with her friends.

She opened up her gifts

 as soon as she got home!

Nina bought her some cool Moxie Girls!

She got a Barbie camper

 from mommy and daddy!

Isla picked out a special gift for her...

Barbie camper sister and tent!

She showed off her new toys to Lottie!

That night we took her

 to Ezell's to eat her favorite food...

shrimp and sweet tea!!

Her best friend Libby came to celebrate!

We had a great day celebrating 

the birth of our big girl!

She has added so much happiness and 

laughter to our life these past 5 years!

We have also listened to her as 

she  has planned her Rapunzel Sleepover

 Party she is going to have since the moment we were

 leaving the parking lot of her Pinkalicious Party last year!

Needless to say the girl loves to party!
