Esme's 5th Birthday

For Christmas, Esme wanted a Barbie Remote Control Helicopter.  Santa did his best to get it, but it showed up on our doorstep long after Christmas.  I guess that's what happens when Santa orders things from China...

Anyhew...

Esme never forgot about it and when you asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she said the same thing.  A Barbie Remove Control Helicopter.  It was so fun to see her open all of her birthday presents but particularly this one.

Next it was time to take it out to fly.

Sadly, it only really goes up for a bit and then back down.  We have to work on the remote control because it appears to only be for show.  It doesn't drive the thing whatsoever.  Aaron tried to see if he could make it work but it will take a bit of work.  He has some ideas to fix it, so hopefully we can get it flying soon.

One of the other things that Esme really wanted when we were at Disney was a Merida wig.  When she got her makeover and picked Merida, she was really disappointed that she didn't end up with long, red, curly hair.  I was able to find one once we got home and she was thrilled with it!

And finally, this girl loves Legos so we had to get her a Lego set.

I think she was very pleased with her birthday.  For dinner, we invited Nick, Andi and Lydia over and Esme and Lydia had a great time playing.  It was a nice, low key birthday.

Happy 5th Birthday my love!
