All about my 5 year old Princess!

Anniston,

I cannot believe that you are now 5 years old. You are such a smart and beautiful girl. Dadoo and I are so incredibly blessed to have you in our lives. You are such a loving little girl, and we still cherish every moment of "snuggles" that you give us.
You have now finished your preschool at our church. We have moved you over to a private school for Pre-K this year, and you are SO EXCTED! You giggle with excitement every time we mention Pre-K! You are going to amaze them with how smart of a little girl you are, and I know that you will be such a great leader in your pre-k class.
A few things about you!

• You love your brother so much. You are rubbing his back if he falls down, giving him "high 5's" when he does something great. You also remind him to use his manners. You are such a little Mommy to him....sometimes too much! You are always looking out for him, and it makes us so proud to watch that!
• You are such a rule follower. I normally have to tell you something 1 time and it's a done deal. It is very rare that I have to get onto you. Everybody told us that it was so rare to have a child who was so good and obedient, and we are learning that there are other personalities out there via your baby brother! HA!
• You will randomly hold your arms open wide and want hugs from us (wal-mart, dinner table, church, school, water park). You are such a lover!!
• You are always saying the funniest things, and you crack yourself up alot.
• You are very curious. Always asking questions, and you remember EVERYTHING we say to you (you have your Dadoo's memory, thank goodness!)
• You love to wear dresses, wear nail polish, have a cute headband or bow, and now we're delving into accessorizing....such a girly girl--I love it!
• You love to play sports outside with Treyson. You are great at hitting the ball (no tee needed....we toss it to you), kicking the soccer ball, and playing catch. We start ballet this week, and I know you'll love getting back into dancing again.
• You always remember to say your prayers, and if Mommy or Dadoo tucks you in alone upstairs, you ALWAYS say, "Mommy, please tell Dadoo that Anniston says to come upstairs for hugs and kisses (or vice versa)." It's the cutest thing, and of course we always do!
• You make your bed, brush your teeth, brush your hair, and dress yourself upstairs EVERY DAY before you come downstairs for me to fix your hair. So independent, and you are very proud of your new big girl room upstairs!

Anniston, I could go on and on about how proud of you that we are. We are so excited what your 5th year holds for you! I know it will be amazing. We love you with all of our hearts!
Love, Mommy and Dadoo
