{Parker Addison turns 5!}

A few days after Christmas, we have a birthday party for Parker.  It always sneaks up on me and is here in the chaos of Christmas so I was thrilled when this year Parker chose to invite one friend and go horseback riding! She is obsessed with all things to do with horses so the was the perfect birthday.  The weather could not have been better for the day!

Hayes was dressed the part all the way down to his boots!

Mabry and Parker have known each other since birth and spent much of their time together.  They love each other like sisters.

Brooke and Mabry rode on a horse named Gus.  He really didn't like to move very fast.

 We had the best time! I loved the time that Parker and I were able to spend talking while on the horse.  We loved looking at all the "nature" but her favorite part was when the horse would trot.  She just giggled the entire time! What a great way to spend a birthday!!
