Leprechaun Hunt

Friday, March 15, 2013 by Leslie Paladino

Today Gabby had a Leprechaun Hunt at her school.  Those pesky leprechaun’s have been causing trouble in the classes all week.  Today the leprechaun’s left a trail of gold nuggets that led to the playground where they were dancing and running around.  The kids got a chance to chase them in the building then dance/pose with them later.  Love how they do such fun things with the kids in kindergarten!

We started a new tradition last year where Gabby has straight hair on her birthday.  Smile

Happy 6th Birthday Gabby!

Monday, March 4, 2013 by Leslie Paladino

A little late on my birthday post but better late than never I guess.  A few weekends ago we celebrated Gabby’s 6th birthday.  I thought it was unbelievable when she turned 5 but I really can’t wrap my mind around Gabby being 6 years old.  Has it really been a whole year? 

We celebrated on Saturday with a cupcake decorating party with a few of her friends and on Sunday, her actual birthday, with a family party (post #2). 

Miss Gabby no doubt keeps us on our toes but we would be lost without her.  She’s our sweet, dramatic, one of a kind princess.  I can’t wait to see how she continues to mature and change and can only imagine what she will become some day.  Happy Birthday sweet Gabby Girl.
