Maya 5 year old photo shoot

Well, my toddler is officially gone, and in its place is a beautiful little girl.  Time goes by so fast that it is scary.
Here she is in all her glory:

For your holiday delight

Miss Maya Bee dancing for you for the holidays:

Rainbow Magic Birthday

So My dear little Bee, you are now 5! My, oh my how you have grown into a beautiful little girl.  Just when I think that I couldn't be prouder of you do amazing things for a 5 year old.

For your birthday theme this year, you chose rainbow.  It was extra special this year, as Gammie and Grampi were here to celebrate it with you and your friends.  Here are some images from the day:

The Birthday Girl!!
 

Gammie and Grampi are in the house!!!

Maya's best birthday gift this year was having Gammie and Grampi here in France at our house!!!!  And boy, do we miss them, since they have left.  Here are pictures from some of the fun stuff that we did while they were here.  Let me tell you, we kept them BUSY!!
The day after they arrived, they came to see Maya at her ice skating lesson.  Here are her good friends from her class:

The next day was Maya's Halloween Party that Gammie came with us to celebrate.  Maya finally got to wear her Cinderella costume, as we were unable to go last year.  She won a 1st place for her costume. SHe still is a princess:

Grampi, your cramping my picture :)

Party Time!

 

One of our favorite costume there:

Then, Monday morning, we were off for a tour of the south!  We were very lucky to have had good weather almost the whole time that we were there:

As soon as we stop by Grenoble after the south, we were off to Azé.  We had a good time, but were sad, as it was to be the whole family, but due to to an accident (fortunately not to bad) Christophe's family was unable to make it. We started Maya's birthday celebration there and it seemed to continue for almost 3 weeks:
