We are wrapping up what has turned into almost a week long celebration for Maia's 5th birthday...like Father like Daughter I guess (I tend to claim at least a week for my birthday as well)!
Maia chose to go painting with 13 of her best friends for her party. We took over The Clay Room (literally) and created an organized mess. Each kid got to pick and paint something, which they really seemed to like...for the whole 5 minutes they actually painted. The giant chocolate chip cookie Maia choose instead of cake seemed to be more of a draw then the actual painting process. But for having 14 kids and several sets of parents in a small area with a lot of paint, glass, water, juice, and snacks, I would say it was a success! Nobody and nothing was broken and all the kids were very proud of their artwork. Maia's friends made her feel very special and she was spoiled with way too many gifts. We are lucky to have met and become friends so many awesome families here in Durango!
The next day Maia got to wear the special birthday crown and bring brownies to school. Once again, she felt very special (and when your snack choice is carrots or brownies...I'm pretty sure you know who's going to be your best snack time buddy)!
Today, March 10th, is Maia's actual birthday. Instead of breakfast pancakes, she chose to go to gymnastics in the morning, so we found ourselves at Denny's for dinner. Classy, I know. But Maia's birthday, Maia's choice... Pancakes for dinner followed by Cold Stone. Good thing birthday's only come around once a year with that menu!
The last birthday request is going to the movies to see the new Cinderella movie this weekend. Birthday week almost complete! Happy Birthday Sugar Bear! You continue to grow into such a beautiful and smart and kind girl each day.

P.S. Here is what you looked like exactly 5 years ago today! I didn't know I could love you anymore than that moment...but I do!
