6

Our Lucy Kate turned 6 years old last Monday. 
What a delightful little lady she is becoming.  In the past, I've been sad when Lucy's birthday rolls around, because I miss her being a baby, so tiny and new.  This year, for whatever reason, I didn't feel sad.  She is growing up so nicely- going to school, losing teeth, learning to read, finding new interests that excite her...
 

Lucy wanted a fairy theme for her birthday.  We invited all of the girls from her kindergarten class, plus a few extra friends.
 

Aunt Merry arrived first...

 

and she brought a beautiful cake that she made

and a party dress!

 

 

We were all ready for the party to begin! 

 

 

 

14 kids,

1 teenager,

5 mamas,

1 aunt,

and 1 grandma.
A full house!

 

It was such a great party for our little fairy!

 

Grandma stayed late to play with Lucy and her new puzzles, dolls, art projects, etc.

 

 

Lucy loves her "Lalalucy" doll, handmade by Katie :)

 

On her real birthday,

Lucy went to school, wearing new tights and a leotard,

matching her little cousin Lyla, who is visiting from Alaska.

 

 

 Then she had a special McDonald's birthday lunch date with Caleb.

I had a happy girl :)
It could only get better with a special dinner- Lucy chose baked potato soup- and ice cream cones.
 

 

 

Cheers to 6, Lu!
