Someone is turning 5!

 

After 5 years, Sofia had grown up to be quite a wonderful, beautiful little girl.

 

 

She has always had a special place in my heart after practically living with my sister for a while to be a full time nanny/best aunt ever. We spent a lot of time together.

 

 

Tons of fun with her Aunt Laura.

 

After I got married and moved away I missed seeing her and all of my other nieces and nephews growing up. So now that we're home we feel fortunate to watch them blossom and grow when we can. Travis worked night shifts up until this weekend and missed out on a lot from the last year (birthdays, family get-togethers, etc.), so now that he's on days we plan on doing "Special Days" instead of cheap gifts that break or get thrown away for the kid's birthdays. I'd rather make memories and bond creating a lasting relationship as "Cool" Uncle Travis and Aunt Laura. :)

 

 

On our way to our "Special Day". She still doesn't know where we're going just yet. Her face lit up as soon as we pulled in the parking lot of Chuck E Cheese.

 

Someone was Happy Happy Happy with their Uncle Travis.

 

Playing some games.

 

 Shootin' some hoops!

 

 

Anything that moves and makes noise is guaranteed to be lots of fun.

 

 

She even got to meet Chuck E himself!

 

As  little girl I remember a few presents but the best memories were the ones made with those I loved. Look out nieces and nephews, BIG birthday plans are being made!
