Happy Birthday, 6 year old girl!
12/16/2019
My youngest daughter has just turned 6!
Our tradition involves letting the birthday child choose the meals for their birthday, so breakfast was homemade cinnamon rolls! She also loves pizza and ramen noodles.
We skyped with Grandma K in Wisconsin, so that she could watch the birthday girl open the gift she'd mailed.
A Mrs. Potato Head!
Now we have a whole Potato Head family - so fun!
We went to Build-a-Bear to create "Shimmer."
But one of the best parts of her birthday is having her birthday twin Addy come over! They share a birthday and are great friends. They dressed up like princesses and we decorated Christmas cookies together.
They had a gift to open together too. Having a birthday twin is great fun!
She received a fancy red dress from Grandma R, which she immediately put on. She remains a girly girl who loves all things beautiful, shiny and bright, glitz and glamour.
There were other gifts to open from mom and dad and other siblings.
Here is her older sister with her gift. The biggest gift she received were two goldfish. She'd been asking for these for quite some time. She named them Goldie and Long-Tail. She received some aquarium decorations as gifts then from her siblings. One was a castle, which she loved.
Here was one fun gift - an easle with a chalkboard and dry erase board (that's magnetic too). She also received a big girl bike (no training wheels).
This girl's birthday is the last one to come during the year and it's hard for her to wait. But we try to keep it just as special in the way we celebrate, just like the other birthdays in our family. This year we waited to decorate for Christmas (Jesus' birthday) until her birthday was over, so she was not overlooked.
There have been some gorgeous sunrises lately. She woke up early enough on her birthday to see this one so I snapped a picture of her taking in the scene. Her heart loves all things beautiful. She told me for the first time recently that she cried looking at something because it was so beautiful.
And just like that, she's growing up!
