Kara is 5

I can't believe another year has gone by. Kara is 5 and so excited about it, I don't think she fell asleep until 10:00 last night and she got up before anyone this morning. I think it is a status symbol at preschool to be five and not four. One of the girls at school today told Kara that she can run just like the five year olds now, and Kara was proud of that fact. We did most of our celebrating yesterday combined with Memorial Day because that's when Barry had time off. He is on call tonight, but he had the day off so we were able to get pizza before he left and of course she had to open her presents. She loved the make-up kit she got from Tanner. Kara is funny and so practical...when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday she wanted a lamp, so that's what she got a nice lamp for her bedroom.
Our neighbors took Kara out for a birthday treat this afternoon which she loved! They gave her a bike horn for her "new bike" (it's really Tanner's old hand me down but she loves it so as long as she doesn't complain it's all good). They told her it's a present that she can use when she moves.
