London Eli Scout is five years old! And this seems truly unbelievable to me. (blink.) She was looking forward to turning five, to being allowed to run with Daddy. Her first gift was a pair of new running shoes and her own blue buff. She and Kevin ran around the lake at the lodge and then returned home to bagels and cream cheese - London's favorite breakfast. After breakfast the kids were all off to see a movie with Dad while Piper Finn and Mommy stayed home to concoct a birthday cake - blue cake with blue icing - and a birthday meal - mac & meat with a side dish of fresh off the cob corn. Bergen bought her a watch (okay, Berg didn't buy her anything, but he passed the present to her and claimed it as his own). Mosely gave (same process) London some doll clothes and Riley really purchased Scout some special candy and a neat painting project. Her final presents were a Paddington Bear book and pajamas that matched for both London and her doll. Five is a magic number. Yes, it is.
