Charlotte’s 5th Birthday
I usually get really excited for my children’s birthdays, but sadly, this move put a damper on everything. I did my best to make her birthday special. I took a break from trying to pack and tried to find ways to spend time with her during the day.
School was cancelled for bad weather, so Isaac was home all day with us. He wanted to start teaching Charlotte school things since she was turning 5. He started making worksheets for her as soon as he woke up and then helped her work on them.
When Ila went down for a nap, we made chocolate ganache for her cupcakes. 
After frosting the cupcakes, we used the leftover ganache to make a graham cracker/banana/ganache birthday treat.
We blew up 5 pink helium balloons with our helium tank. 
I tried to spend time with her as much as I could during the day. In the evening we had the dinner of her choice (pasta) and cupcakes.
She also opened her presents. 
The following Saturday we had a little party for her with friends from her primary class and her second cousin Jackson. 
They played games, had a snack, played with dress-ups, opened presents, and had cupcakes.
