zoe turns 5 part 2

so zoe got two birthday parties this year, lucky monkey that she is.  farmor, farfar, and mormor came over for a sunday afternoon feed, bringing presents and snuggles.  zoe cornered mormor right away for a book reading...

while eijla entertained farmor and farfar with her extensive vocabulary of rolling r's and funny fish sounds.

and what does a 5 year old pick for her meal of choice?  why artichokes of course!  one of her all time favorite foods,  just wish i could get them to grow faster out in the greenhouse!

and then there was chocolate barbarpapa cake with lots of rainbow sprinkles. 

you could say we had one satisfied 5 year old on our hands.  seems like she is growing up faster than i can keep up with.  but i love sharing these milestones with her.  i am afraid i am going to blink and she will be off to college!
