Cora's 5th Birthday

Cora had a great 5th Birthday! Her request that day was to go to sky zone. So we did that and then she picked going to Chili's for dinner. Grandpa and Grandma Sikkema were here for the weekend and we had a great time!

She was very patient all day and waited until Daddy got home to open her presents.

Maya reading Cora her cards. I love this!

Maya picked out some Pete the Cat books for Cora. 

She was so excited to wrap them and give them to her.

A very fun gift arrived from Texas...a jumbo surprise Pikmi Pop. Who knew these crazy things would be such a big hit. She received a smaller one from Maya too.

Grandma and Grandpa got Cora a Fingerling, some clothes for school, and her 5th year bear figurine. And her big gift from us was a pink trampoline to jump on in the basement!  All this to say she had a very fun day and I can't believe my baby is five!

She wanted to make her own cake so Grandma, Maya, and Cora made this yummy beauty! She wanted pink frosting, sprinkles, and a funfetti cake.

Cora kept saying she would learn how to ride her bike with out training wheel when she turned 5. Well the Friday night before her big day she learned how to ride her bike in about 20 minutes! She was thrilled!
