Hadley is 6
Yesterday our little girl turned 6. She has been counting the days until her birthday for weeks. She couldn't have been more exited about it!
We started the day by going to the C4 MOM's group at our church. She loved sharing with everyone that it was her birthday! Both kids made a craft (both hands cut out on stick. (Palms for Easter). Hadley decorated hers with many 6's.
Then after that we went to Dairy Queen to pick up her requested ice cream cake which we later ate after school. We quickly ate lunch and then it was time to take Hadley to school. She was very exited because she asked a few days before to bring in cupcakes for the class and today was the day she could share them.
She said they sang to her and she quite enjoyed her day.
After school we ate the rainbow ice cream cake with a #6 candle and watched her excitement as she opened our gifts.
Easton got her a bag of peanuts from her favorite store (Bulk Barn). She had circled them in the flyer the week before asking to have them to feed the squirrels at Lynde Shores. She hugged them and thanked him with great sincerity! Easton was so happy to hand her the spiderman gift bag.
While she was happy with our clothes and joke book gift, she was OVER THE MOON with the "New Super Mario Bros. U" game for the Wii.
The evening was spent at gymnastics and then because Easton fell asleep on the way home there was time for her to take a few birthday phone calls and play some of her Wii game.
A special request to sleep in our bed with me was also granted as Brian flew out a few out tonight to Boston.
I think she had a great day!
For me, I obviously reviewed the past 6 years and was thankful for each moment! I also realized that I have been a stay at home mom as long as I was at BMO.
