I think 6 sounds so old. Like my baby is really growing up. I always say "oh you are getting so big" about my kids, but 6 really seems to start the 'big kid' stage. Sydnee was very excited about her birthday this year. She counted down the days for at least the last 2 weeks.
The night before I decorated the kitchen/dining room in all princess stuff.
She was very excited when she got up and couldn't wait to open presents.
After the kids got all dressed and ready, Jeff surprised them with the gift that is for both of them to share for their birthdays. We decided to give it to them now, because their birthday party will be the day before Kaydee's birthday and they will be getting a lot of gifts around that time.
We put the sprinkler under the trampoline and they had a blast!
Grandma and Papa met us at Applebees for dinner and then came for cake and ice cream afterwards. We didn't do anything big since it was a weeknight and they are having a birthday party too. But she had fun and all day she kept saying "This is the best birthday ever. I can't believe I'm 6!"
We love our little Sydnee. She is so special to us. She's a very sweet person and loves affection. She is also super smart and eager to learn. She's VERY talkative and inquisitive, and sometimes we struggle to keep up with it. But I wouldn't want it any other way.
Sydnee, I love you 1 million times around the moon and back..times infinity. Xoxoxo.
