Elizabeth's 6th Birthday

Where have the last 6 years gone? I send my baby to kindergarten tomorrow! She put it in prospective for me when I told her that calling her brother names was not appropriate and her response was "Mom! That is something a 5 year old would do, I am 6 now!"

Daddy stayed home and had strawberries and waffles with us.  She opened a few presents (FedEx still had one to deliver!).  Ima joined us for lunch at our favorite "chips and salsa" restaurant after she helped me put the final touches on her party.

The theme for her party was FLOWERS.  I was hoping for a beautiful summer day and we would be out in the yard, painting flowers and enjoying a breeze.  Mother nature decided a drizzly, humid day was more in order so we moved the party inside from the get go.  I will let the pictures tell the story.

Anna!
Cupcake flower bouquet, complete with candles and a balloon that  someone special sent her!
Good morning! Traditional picture with the birthday chair cover.
The flower cake a la Alison (someday they are really going to want a professional cake!) 
My Elsa braid!
Waiting for the girls to arrive for the party.  Ima made us all matching aprons!
Decorate your own cupcake.  I am not going to lie, I had the sweeper out 5 minutes after they left.  Remember I had imagined this party outside!

Decorate your own special box.  For all those trinkets girls have to keep forever!


Trying to perfect the "swoopy" braid for the 1st day of school. 




By the time she was done opening her gifts the girls were practically sitting on top of her!  I love how kids just can't get close enough.  These little ladies were all so well behaved! 


The sprinkle aftermath. 
Evening with the grandparents. 
Daddy likes to help read the cards and make them really funny!
