Sophie is 5!!!

Unbelievable! Our 1st sweet baby is 5 already! Though really it is hard to remember life without this girl :). We had the most wonderful day on her birthday (June 6th, yes, she was our 6/6/06 baby!) - I am pretty sure everything went according to her hearts desires: #1, Grampy was here! My dad came to visit and made it for both Chason & Sophie's bdays (and kind of his own as he arrived the day after his 55th). Donuts for breakfast at our new favorite spot Yoyo Donuts (bacon maple bar was a bonus!), Mall of America for a free unlimited ride pass for her bday (their kids club rocks!) and of course ribs for lunch at Famous Daves (though she did say she would have rather had her dad's :). Then we grilled dogs & brats, played on the slip-n-slide (me & my dad both amused the kids - and likely all of our neighbors - by going down. No pictures of that one, lol!) and birthday cake and presents to finish off a perfect day.

Here are some pics of our fun - of one of Cal just to make you giggle...
