Ruth is 5

 Ruth had her first friend birthday party.  It was a lot of fun.  I only took two pictures because it was a little crazy keeping track of all the kids (plus the twins).  How do people take pictures at parties?  I guess they really aren't at the party.  We broke a pinata, ate pizza and cake,  made play dough, pin the tail on the donkey, face painted (with markers) and jumped on the trampoline.   

 On her actual birthday we celebrated in the morning with Dad, breakfast in bed (although Ruth doesn't like to eat right when she gets up) and presents.  Yes, the twins still drink from a bottle.  After spending a fortune on sippy cups that leak, get lost, throw at heads and left in the car...I have gone back to sometimes using $1 bottles.

 Ruth is growing out her bangs.  She recently cut a chunk of hair off on the top.  This was the main reason I had her hair cut shorter again.  Hopefully next year she can have a longer bob all one length.

 Paul took Ruth to lunch on her birthday.  She loves spending time with her dad.  She loves any one-on-one time.   

Ruth is in preschool at the YMCA.  She has many friends.  She likes to go on dates with her parents.  She is in dance.  She likes to write her name.  She loves to play with the twins and Eden.  Eden is her second mother/best friend.  David constantly reminds her to put on her seat belt.  She loves shrimp.  She sleeps with her pink blanket every night.  She has little teeth.  She likes to laugh.  She loves to play with babies and wear princess heels.  Happy 5th birthday Ruthie Toothy Snugly Bear.
