I wanted to add a few more pic's to the blog of Ayla's birthday for us to remember and enjoy.

Also, I must take a moment to mention the first try with the scissors and the remorse that followed.

Ayla was learning to use little scissors. She had it down pretty good, cutting out ghosts for Halloween. Somehow, after I left the room, the scissors went from the ghost to the hair. She came to me and said sheepishly, "Momaw, I just cut my hair!" I won't go into all that followed, but the end result is her mom cutting it all short. She cried and fumed and did not like it. ( mommaw too.) But now we both think she is the cutest little gal ever. Yes, she's vain! Just the same, her new haircut suits her to a T.

Happy Birthday to Ayla!

Can you believe Ayla has turned 5 today? I guess as I look back at photos with all the stages of her life I guess it's possible. I know that she is a beautiful, thoughtful and smart little girl.

Her birthday so far has been spent going to her prekindergarten class coming home at lunch and having a grilled cheese sandwich, dill pickles and cottage cheese. She played in her room for awhile. She is now playing games on the computer and is totally in-control! When I was trying to download the games she said, "mommaw, I think you'd better call mom, because I don't think you know what you are doing." Well, I was having trouble with one little part, but that's beside the point. Anyway, I think she takes after her mama and her pop-pop when it comes to computers.

Tonight she is having dinner at the restaurant of her choice. Well, almost. She wanted The Cheesecake Factory but her mom was like "within reason" so I think she will choose her 2nd favorite place, Sweet Tomatoes.

She is having her birthday party this weekend. She has about twenty kids coming and I am a bit scared about that. But she will have fun and have good memories of her 5th birthday.

Perhaps her mom will post about the party after it is done.

Enjoy the pics.
