morgan turns 6

My baby is 6. Wait. When did that happen? It seems like just yesterday that I held her in my arms for the first time. And now, here she is, with her pajamas a size too small. Per our usual tradition, the day starts out with some kind of balloons or streamers.

Then we do a little present opening. This girl is really into Lego's right now. So I upped my Lego game and got a true set that she can put together. She builds the set and then all kinds of other Lego creations.

And because she let's me, we had a little photoshoot at the bus stop. We're always in a rush to get there on time so it's the best place to do it.

This is what 6 looks like. Oh my.

We can't do a birthday sign for one child and not the other? Here you have it.

Morgan's class does a guest reader on Friday's. I signed up plenty in advance to be there on this day. And because Addison thinks she's a grown up now I took her with me to read a book. The kids acutally loved it! They giggled and giggled and Morgan was so proud of her big sister.

 Then we had a little birthday treat. Donuts.

After Addison's supposed-to-be small sleepover and the trip to Disney, I was tapped on on birthday parties. Sorry Morgan. I know you always get the shaft. I let her have her best friend spend the night, we had pizza, did some swimming, and she even had her own special cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery in NYC. 

 I asked Morgan what kind of cake she wanted Aunt Shannon to bring her from New York. Her response?

A chicken cake.

You're welcome kid.

These silly girls. My heart is happy when they are happy.

I hope you had the best birthday ever!

Your silliness is contagious. Thank you for always making me smile!

I love you baby girl.
