Birthday, Dance and graduation, oh my!

May was a big month for Paisley.....She turned 5 years old, had her year end dance recital and graduated pre-school!!!

Paisley had her first friend birthday party this year and she wanted it at a place called Monkey Island, just a place filled with inflatable bouncers and obstacles.  She invited all her cousins and 5 friends.  We later had cake and ice cream with family and it was decorated like hello kitty- the newest craze in our house with the girls. 
A little on Paisley at age 5:
Paisley is the biggest animal fan around, she absolutely loves dogs, mostly small ones she can pick up and carry, she owns a TON of stuffed animals and sleeps with about 4-5 every night.
She is a very tender hearted little girl and adores and loves her sister Avery, they still have their fights, but what sisters don't:)
She can now ride a bike without training wheels, she learned in 1 day and picked it up so fast and is a little pro at it.
Every time she gives us kisses before bed or when we leave grandparents she always kisses in a certain order- once on the lips and then once on each cheek, I don't know where she picked this up from but has always gave kisses that way.
She enjoys getting and having her hair done- I'm not just saying that because I love to do little girls hair, she has a fit if we ever have to leave the house without her hair done(I may have created a monster:)
She is very excited and ready to start kindergarten this fall, me not so much:(  I had a hard time just getting her registered, I honestly thought about home schooling her!  I can't imagine my little girl in a big school and taking a bus!  So scary for me:)
She is an amazing little artist!  At age 2 she was coloring in the lines and now she draws the best pictures and colors awesome- she's just all around so creative!  Her pre-school teachers gave her the "most amazing artist award" in school and constantly talked about how nice and neat her artwork always was.  She is a little perfectionist!
She cracks us up constantly, she has a dry sense of humor at times that we find hilarious, but she is so serious about it.  We just love her to pieces!!!
