It’s a big deal. To be 5. And this fabulous. I’m calling these her birthday photos because well, it’s all I’ve got from around the time she turned 5 two months ago.

It will be random and it will make me smile. I’ll give you a long hung and you’ll curl up in my arms and snuggle on my lap, your head on my chest with your long legs dangling down to the floor.
