Well . . . Gabrielle is now 5 years old!! Time really does fly, we are not sure where it all goes. Here are some pictures of her birthday party, we invited pretty much all of our friends over here . . . we ended up with more than 50 guests! They were not there all at the same time though, but we had at least 15 people in our house the entire time from 5 pm to midnight on her big day! This first pic is of the cake that I made for Gabby . . . we had a luau theme for the party, that is what she ended up wanting . . . it was a lot of fun =+)!
This year we splurged and got some helium balloons and she was sooo excited!! . . . and Eli giving her some birthday hugs.

Opening some presents . . . so much fun!
She got a new pair of pretty pink sandals from Ima (our Nanny and house cleaner, as well as dear friend)
