Now She is Six

On April 2, AG turned 6! We celebrated the next day with family and friends here at home. She had decided months ago what kind of party she would like to have, and she'd been counting down the days to her birthday for weeks!

Painting flower pots


Playing "butterfly bingo"


Ready to blow out the 6 candles on her "dirt cake" (my latest "cake wreck"! It tasted better than it looked...thankfully!)


We were so glad to have Mimi, PawPaw, and Nanoo here for the party!


AG watering some of the newly planted flower seeds...


Planting seeds in the painted pots


The girls with Mimi and PawPaw


LL and PawPaw


With Nana and Grandpa


and Gran, PopPop, and Uncle David


It was a fun day for her to get to share with so many special people! Afterward, she wrote about it in her new diary from Nana and Grandpa. We are so thankful for this imaginative, thoughtful, silly, bright, hardworking, funloving girl. She has grown into a watchful and sweet big sister, and it is delightful to see her learning new things and using her imagination each day. We are so thankful for you, AG!
