Today we celebrated Violet’s 5th birthday with friends and family. It was a great party, Violet and all her school friends seemed to have a good time. Once again I find myself with more pictures than I then I have energy to post. I’ll see about writing a post of the great day with the pictures till then enjoy this picture of Violet.

It doesn’t mater where you fold it, or stack it. If clean laundry is anywhere other then the dresser Chloe will find it. And to be fair I have seen her in a dresser when it’s been left open. What’s it with cats and clean clothes?

Each night I make sure to plug-in all the family electronics. Missing from this picture is Melissa’s phone as I used it to take the pictures. I also didn’t bring in the Wii U controller that I try to make sure is charged every night.

Today my little Angel turned 5. So in the morning we had a special birthday breakfast and opened a few of her gifts. Thanks Nan, Violet loves the Arts set and can’t wait to try the video game. Thanks Tom and Ange she loves the purse and is looking forward to wearing a tatoo to school tomorrow.  After dinner Nana came over with some cupcakes and she opened her present from Nana and Papa. I can’t wait to see her in her new Doc McStuffins rain gear. I hope she had a great day, though I can’t help but be said that my baby girl is just a little more grown up.  I love you Violet, and Happy Birthday.

I wanted to write you regularly as your grew up. To mark big days in your life, but each time a day I want to mark with a letter comes the words don’t. That ends today. Today you turn 5. By baby girl is growing up. At times I can see the big girl shining through, at others you are still my baby girl who needs her daddy. I want you to know that I love you I will always love and though you grow up you will still be my baby girl.

Today we have a collage from Hockey Practice at the MasterCard Centre for Hockey Excellence. On the right is Jacob’s practice, the left is the Toronto Maple Leafs. The kids usually practice early on Sundays, but today the Leafs wanted to practice before heading on their western road trip so the practice got moved to Rink 3 at 10:30am. When we arrived the Leafs were still practicing so I took a few pictures before taking Jacob in to get ready for his practice.

Today we have a picture of Jacob Watching Violets Hockey game.

Today we have a picture of Violets Lego creation. When she built-in she was so proud of it. She even covered it up so that she could surprise Nana with it It was so cute I thought that I would use it for today’s picture of the day.

Today Melissa tried her had at making a beef stew in our crock pot. After spending the day with the smell of the stew filling the House I finally got to taste it at dinner, All I can say is that it was delicious, I’m so glad Melissa decided to make it today. Of course I could only manage to eat a bit more then a bowl before I was stuffed. Of course there is always tomorrow dinner.

It’s Saturday and that means hockey pictures. Today we have a picture of Violet taking the faceoff during her game today.  I love watching her play hockey, she gives it her all from the puck drop till the final buzzer.  Today was no exception.
