Six & Sick

My little girl celebrated her birthday today – mostly in bed too! Thankfully she wasn’t sick for her party last Saturday with all her little girlfriends. She came up with the idea for a “cookie decorating” party and planned each detail down to the cake. She has been really spoiled and has loved every gift that has come her way. We were working on a few thank you notes today, and she always included a line like “You are such a good friend” or “Thank you for being my friend”. I’m so happy with how my little girl is turning out. Here are some fun pics of the party and her birthday – including her napping on and off due to being so sick! (While resting, and staying home from school, we did enjoy reminiscing and watching all the home videos from birth to age one – which lasts hours!!!) Tonight she didn’t want cake or ice cream though – so we’ll have to lengthen the celebration to another day when she is feeling better.

Happy birthday my little princess!


Decorating cookies at her party - soooo fun!

Her cake - which she designed and looked easy (as I am NOT a cake-maker) but is held daintily together with several toothpicks so that the cupcakes to fall off the sloping cake and slippery icing - UGGGH!

Huffing and puffing!

Breakfast in bed, as requested!

Her princess robe (which has been on her wish list for months now) - her name is embroidered on the front! This was actually a great gift for a birthday of not feeling well.

Poor girl fell even fell asleep in my arms!

Sleeping angel.

I've come to the conclusion that balance in life is only attained when one limits the extent and experiences of ones life. Maybe not.  P...
