Morgan's 5th Birthday (yesterday)


Wake up sleepy head! Time to open presents!


Here is Morgan's look of amazement as she saw her very own hot pink Barbie scooter!
10 Things We Love About Morgan: (written by Dad)
1. She is her mommy's girl-a princess who loves dresses, Barbies and make-up. Joel has his two rough and tumble boys. Shannon needed her girl!
2. Her tummy tastes like chocolate ice-cream!!!
3. She can hold her own with her two older brothers. Like any smart girl, she knows when to turn on the tears and when to turn up the charm!
4. She is addicted to gum.
5. She is starting to want to learn how to throw the baseball (Joel is holding out hope), although she has a purple mitt and we are sure she would prefer that the ball was pink.
6. She loves to read, especially before bedtime. Who can refuse a girl with a little timid, sweet, voice and big eyes asking, "Daddy will you read me a book?" After the "yes" is heard, the negotiation begins. "OK, Daddy, I want to read 5 books." With his response, "How about two?"
7. She loves to cuddle with her mom, but when she is not available, she will cuddle with her dad, her grandparents, and even her primary teacher.
8. She is going to have a rude awakening when she starts school next year. She likes to sleep in until around 8 or 8:30; get up; lounge around in her pajamas; have a brunch because she doesn't like breakfast right when she gets up; and then go to preschool or swim lessons. We want her life!!!
9. She can never find her flip-flops or her shoes (we are not sure if she currently owns a pair of shoes other than her church shoes). We are constantly showing up at events and looking at Morgan and asking in an exasperated tone, "Morgan, where are your shoes?"
10. She is an amazing piano player. She has been playing for the past year and her teacher is amazed at what she has learned. And the amazing thing is that she loves it! We will find her all the time sitting at the piano singing while playing her songs. Joel is living vicariously through his boy's sporting events and Shannon is living vicariously through Morgan's piano playing.
We love you Morgan!
