More on Fi

Fiora had a great birthday this year. On Tuesday, the day before her birthday, she got a card in the mail from Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Neil with 5 dollars in it! She wants to take it to the store and buy make-up. Fiora had a big friend party with her preschool class that day. 11 kids age 4 showed up, and we played and ate heart shaped pizza and opened lots of presents. I tried to play some games with them, but they were really more interested in free play. Fiora received lots of nice gifts, her favorite being make-up from cousin Lucy. On the 13th, her actual birthday, she opened gifts from her parents, a new swimming suit, playdough, and more make-up! Jared is not amused. But Fiora is happy! Fiora also opened a package that came from Great Grandma Rappleye down in sunny Arizona, a custom made glass doll! With a glass case! That was my favorite. The fun doesn't stop there, on Saturday we had a Barrett family party for Fiora and Kayden Neilson who is also turning five this month. We went to the Kangaroo Zoo (that is a play-place with inflatable slides for those who think it is a real zoo with live Kangaroos, like my dad did!) and played and came back to our house for presents and cake. Grandma Barrett gave Fiora a dress a shirt and a new veggie tales movie, and cousin Kayden gave her a dress too. I thought that would be the end of Fiora's treasures, but last night aunt Shawna gave her a jump rope! Thank you all for the gifts and fun, Fiora feels VERY loved this year.
