Happy 5th Birthday Seoul!

This sweet girl is the joy {and trial} of our life sometimes. She is beautiful and smart and becoming more assertive, which is not always a good thing. She uses those smarts to argue everything and ask questions I already have a hard time answering. We love that she reads and teaches her sisters things. It's like that nursery rhyme... "When she was good she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid." Lately she is extremely emotional, which we are working hard to figure out how to control. Those tantrums she has are a bit scary, to be honest. I foresee a close relationship with a smattering of stubbornness and definite testing of the boundaries. She is a good rule follower so far, though. We love our oldest child and wouldn't have her any other way!

This little sneak came out at midnight so she could scope out her birthday goodies. Lucky we had just finished wrapping everything! Then she got a little goofy for getting caught.

Birthday goodies for our special girl!

Oh my, her hair isn't looking too swell here...

One of the favorite gifts is from Sydney - an Elsa wand that plays music.

She chose Red Robin for dinner - yum! She wanted the birthday ice cream sundae badly enough that she stood and let them sing to her. (She is not my child!)

Happy birthday to our wonderful Seoul!
