What can I say about Laney?  She is beautiful, sweet, smiley, smart, and very danty.  Five years ago this evening, I was at home walking the stairs and sitting on the birthing ball patiently awaiting the birth of our first child.  Early the next morning, we went to the hospital and Laney was placed on my chest two hours later.  How beautiful!  How amazing!  WOW!  How life has changed since then.  My days of barely making it to church play group by 10am make me laugh as I now workout at 5:30am and can be out of the house by 8:55am on Sunday morning with four children and myself, an hour after daddy has gone.  I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 

When it came to planning Laney’s 5th birthday, it was "girly" all the way.  She asked to have her party at our friends nail shop, Classy Nails & Tan.  It was a blast.  The girls had their fingers and toes painted.  We also fixed them up with rockstar glasses, tatoos, and funky hair.  The mom’s even enjoyed a pedicure.  It couldn’t have been more "Laney".  Then we headed back to the house for some hot pink nail polish cake made by my super-talented cake decorating friend Rebecca Moon.  Yummy!  Laney had a wonderful, fun day!  So big!
