Gem is 5!

Gem had a fun birthday yesterday.  She rode the train down to Salt Lake with Levi, her dad, her cousin, and her grandma and grandpa.  June and I opted to meet them down there. While we were in Salt Lake we went to the Children's Museum at the Gateway.  The kids had lots of fun playing with all the exhibits.

June thought she was in heaven in the kids sized grocery store.  Unluckily for her the food wasn't actually edible.

Levi really really enjoyed these air tubes.  You can hear his scream one time in each video but imagine that forty or fifty times in a row.  I think he was scaring all the other kids away.

That night Gem had lots of grandmas and grandpas over to open her presents and eat her cake.  Her favorite gift by far was the Rapunzel dolls she got from her grandma Ross.  Below she is posing for a picture next to her "pony and unicorn" cake.  She requested a pony and unicorn cake a few weeks ago, and had been saving her pony shirt too wear for this special day.  The secret to make a successful pony and unicorn cake, is to make a regular cake and purchase one pony and one unicorn to go on top of it.  I think she was pleased over all with her 5 year old birthday.
