Lexy's Birthday

June 9th - Today was Lexy's birthday. We wanted to make this day all about her because we feel like Nathan gets a lot of attention because of his "toddler stage". She has been a great big sister, but we wanted her to feel particularly special on this day. So we started with gifts from Grandma and Grandpa in Tennessee early in the morning. She got lots of Polly Pockets with a pool to play in. Then we went to breakfast at Perkins where she ate pancakes. After breakfast she had a friend from school who was having his birthday party on the same day. She decided that she wanted to go to that. When the pool party was over she still wanted to play in the pool so we went to our pool as a family. After we came home and rested for a while and ate dinner Lexy and I had a special "mommy and daughter date". We went to the salon and had pedicures. Lexy picked out a really pretty shade of nail polish. When the ladies in the salon found out that she was turning five they offered to paint her fingernails too and they decorated them with jewels. Lexy felt like such a princess. She just loved it. It was a great day and I think that Lexy felt very special.
