Happy Happy Birthday Miri Dear!!!

Miriam turned five this last Monday.  It was a dream come true for Miriam, cupcakes, parties, and a trip to Zurchers (the fun party store right by where we used to live in Orem).  Hazel took the birthday really hard because she was not the birthday girl.  So the picture of her singing Happy Birthday to Miriam really tugs at my heart.  Jacob is older and wiser, but you can still see he is dreaming of his birthday :) 

She got a "balance bike"  Her friend Lilly has one of these bikes and they are amazing for teaching kids how to ride a two wheeler.  Miriam can already glide along with no training wheels.  It is just like a regular two wheeler, but it does not have pedals, so they just scoot along until they are gliding with their feet up.  It is so natural, it beats chasing them holding on to the seat while they panic and cry and learn to keep their balance!
