six...

Each birthday that S and I grow another year older, we often comment that "are we really that old already?"  But, we are finding out that our kids' birthdays really make us question how fast the time flies by.  Can our baby girl really be SIX already?  I really miss the little baby and all the other "little" stages that she has flown though, but I also really love the sweet big girl that G is now.  So that and all the happiness of birthdays is what I have to focus on otherwise the tears will flow!!!!

My parents came up the weekend before G's Monday birthday, and we had a very nice celebration with them on Saturday night.  Mom and G made her birthday cake, and that really made G's day!  She had so much fun baking with Aahma and it was so fun to see the spontaneous giant hugs and thank-yous for Aahma when they finished.  Plus the cake was pink!!!  (jello cake, one of my favorites growing up =)

G also decided that opening presents was going to be a big show and she made her own throne for us to watch her...=)  We humored her and had a very happy girl who was very thankful for all her presents!

One of the things that G asked for for her birthday was to have a school friend over to play.  So her good friend K came to play one morning and the girls had fun catching up and playing together.  It was nice for us to get to know one of her school friends better too!

So Happy Happy Birthday, our sweet girl!  We all love you so much and can't wait to see what year 6 brings for you!!!
