AnNeLiSe'S 6tH bIrThDaY

Annelise turned 6 yrs. old on the fifth. We celebrated all week because she was the super star student in school. She had to make a ME poster (we did thumbnail pics of her to fill in the letters M & E...and then she had to make a kid poster. She also got interviewed at school, had a show and tell, and on Friday had to show the class how to do something. So we had her show the class how to make a snowman with marshmallows and fixings. She was such a sweet super star all week.



Then on Saturday, (her actual bday) she had her breakfast of choice (donuts) on a red plate while she got some phone calls from her friends and from her uncles & aunts (corbin, amy, brandon, & mayra) to wish her happy bday. It made her feel so special to hear from them. And then she had her party in the afternoon. Being that it is an "even" year (she turned 6) meant she got to have a party. She chose a glamour girl party complete with getting their hair done, nails painted, makeup, jewelry making, and a red carpet walk! She loved it all! She was on cloud nine. But, just like any bday kid, she did have her moments of "it's my party and I will pout if I want to!" We did make it through the cake, presents and a game of pass the purse (much like hot potato). I can tell that the guest had so much fun and so did Annelise. And I did too! It wasn't too crazy. I did have some good help from family and two great neighbors (thanks Ash and Michelle)! It turned out great. The only anxiety we had was that we HAD to limit how many guest we could invite! Annelise was so sad to not be able to invite a bunch of her friends (the boys & others). I wish there was some way to invite everyone.
I am so thankful for my sweet little glamour girl, Annelise. She is such a sweet heart and I do love her. I am not sad to see her get older, but excited. Because it is so neat to see how she matures and learns. Happy birthday Annelise! love you
