Happy 5th Birthday, Ivy!

What a day it was...seeing Ivy open a present for the first time in her life. She wasn't even sure how to do it. She kept acting surprised that this celebration was really all for her! Even the cards were such treasures to her. She continues to look at them several times a day. I don't know who had more fun, Ivy, or her family, who witnessed the surprise and joy in her face.

They are easier to ignore before you see their faces.
 It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms.
 But once you do, everything changes.."
