We celebrated Hayley's 6th birthday this past week. My baby is now 6 years old and gone to school all day in 1st grade. Sigh. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying this new independence, but there are times I miss my babies and wish they wouldn't grow up so fast.
Hayley has picked up on Courtney's dog/puppy obsession, so she requested a dog cake again this year.
Hannah and Courtney had asked me to take them shopping the day before her birthday (which happened to be Labor Day) because they wanted to spend their allowance to buy her a present. They couldn't wait for her to open it, so I let her open that one right after school instead of waiting until after dinner. They picked out a little dog (similar to a Zhu-Zhu pet) that rolls around and makes noises and such. It was fun to see all of them so excited about it.
We had presents and cake after dinner, when the aunts and uncles and cousins could come over to help us celebrate.
Time to blow out the candles!
Hayley got to have a birthday party this year (we do every-other-year parties) and the main thing she wanted was for her best friend Eric to be able to come. Eric moved about an hour away at the beginning of the year, but fortunately we are still able to see him (and his family) occasionally. We arranged for Eric to come on Friday after school, and Hayley also wanted to invite her friend Belle (from church and school). So we brought Belle home with us from school and Eric arrived not too long afterward. I didn't plan an elaborate party -- they just wanted to play. We had pizza and they watched a movie and had a fun time together.
Happy Birthday to my sweet 6-year-old!

Thanks for inviting Eric! He had a great time! It was great to see you! Thanks for all the good reading material, too! My husband is ready for me to not have something to read again! :)
