She is just growing up so fast.
Full of life and passion.
I still have a hard time believing I am a mom. Let alone a mom to two kids.
I remember when she was born thinking when are her parents going to come pick her up, this is the longest babysitting job evah. No one was coming. I was it.
And here we are 6 years later. We have all survived. It is just astounding how one or two little people just change the way you do everything. Being a mom to her-- well it is really all I ever wanted. I prayed so hard for a daughter and I got her.
For her party we kept it low key. I have never really liked big birthday parties too much pressure for me. HA!
The invite also had to be pink with flowers and butterflies.
Leighton may have a future in some kind of design. She is always designing something. She had big dreams for her cake and I think I pulled it off. Her requirements were as follows: Pink, purple, flowers and butterflies. The cake could not be butterfly or flower shaped. I had to have butterflies and flowers on the cake. Tall order for me who has zero cake skills.
So here is the completed cake. She loved it. It was ombre pink flowers with purple sparkle butterflies.
In lieu of a big party, we have been letting the kids pick a fun activity to do as their birthday fun. She choose a trampoline park. The kids and I had a blast. 1 hour of jumping will wear you out!
Then home for pizza and cake...and of course presents.
You would have thought that it was Sarah's {aka the "AG" doll's} birthday. Thankfully since she got some big ticket items the gifts stayed to a minimum. I am so over gifts at this point. The playroom is full and they need nothing.
The "AG" doll haul!
So there's her party in a nut shell.
Now I just need to get her 6 yo interview loaded...but that would require me to download my phone first. Stay tuned.
