We are used to a big family birthday party, but with no family here we still wanted to make it a very special day for Ashlyn. We started with a best friends make-over at a kids salon. Good thing Ashlyn picked Jordy as her best friend to take. They were so excited!
Ashlyn is so shy. She didn't talk for the first 30 minutes or so.
She didn't want to smile at all. Doesn't she look like she's having fun getting her hair done with hot chocolate and all!
You can always count on Jordyn to do the talking!

LOVED having pink, purple, and blue in their hair.

After Ashlyn opened all of her presents, she went to the other room and quietly sat their for over 15 minutes applying all of her chapsticks. The only thing she wanted for her birthday was double sided chapstick(see video below). Which is what she's holding in this picture.
Frosting her cupcakes
Funfetti cupcakes with Funfetti frosting...just happens to be my favorite too!
Jordyn helping to frost the cupcakes even though she hates frosting. We left 2 unfrosted for her. This child is crazy! Ashlyn and I make up for her dislike for frosting!
The only thing left to do was to get her ears pierced! Jordy got hers done when she turned four, so that's what Ashlyn wanted to do too!
I was shocked she was actually going through with it. She is so reserved and not a risk taker at all. Quite the opposite of my Jordy!!
One, two, three...
Trying to be brave...
But it hurts...
A sucker helps to make everything better!
Happy as soon as she sees them in the mirror!
Wearing the new jammies that Meme sent
So proud! She said the best part of her birthday was getting her ears pierced!!
Finally cupcake time!!
Happy Birthday Ashlyn, you truly are a blessing to Mommy and Daddy. You make us laugh everyday with the cute way you talk and things you say. You are our princess! We love you more than words can express!!
She was so excited to get her first trophy! She put it on her shelf in her room. She's very proud of it!
We are so proud of her. She improved so much this year. She's more aggressive and goes after the ball. She made a lot of goals, which she's very proud of. She would warm up before games by running up and down our stairs. She was convinced that was why she could outrun everyone. We can't wait to see what other sport she wants to play or to watch her play soccer again!
