Lauren turned 5 last week! She has been counting down since August, so we were all excited that the day finally came! It was a great celebration too. It started early with breakfast crepes made by Dad. She then opened her presents, and we played all morning. After school, Harper had a hip check at the doctor, but Lauren got to go with us and see how cool the Children's Hospital is (something she's be asking to do for a while). We then picked up Dad from work and went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. When we got home, her birthday cake was waiting....three chocolate heart cakes made from scratch by Dad.
Lauren had her doctor check-up yesterday...she braved 4 shots and passed her hearing and eye tests. She is now 47 1/4 inches tall! She told me she needs to get tall fast because she wants to be a Mom. She sure is getting tall fast...
Time goes by fast, and I can't believe Lauren is 5. She is such a great big sister and good example to our family. I love how good she is with baby Harper...she loves to hold her even if they baby is screaming. She has a natural talent for nurturing and it amazes me to see her care for Harper. Lauren loves school...mostly because of her friends there. She is not the shy little girl she was a couple years ago. She loves being creative by making up stories or doing craft projects. She also loves hearing stories about our family and is constantly asking to hear new stories. (Her favorite story is about Russ falling asleep while reading Macbeth in high school English...ask her about it sometime).
I love my Lauren darlin' so much! Happy 5th Birthday!

Only 9 and 1/2 more inches until she can be out of a booster seat (in Utah) and sit in the front seat! She is a pretty tall girl! Happy Birthday, Lauren :)
