It's Super To Be 6 !!!!!

Sunday Snapshot



I almost felt guilty sending the kids off to school early this AM, after the exhausting, birthday celebrating weekend we had. I bet the kids could have slept until 10.....EASY........

It started with a cupcake party at school. After months of ohhing & ahhing over the various offerings from the local grocery store bakeries & ice cream stores, when it came down to decide, Jami decided she would most like to help me make chocolate / chocolate chip cupcakes with cherries on top. So that's what we did....


On Saturday (her actual birthday), Lindsi had a school event & we had a lot running around to do. Jami picked a local Mexican restaurant for her birthday dinner (Mom, shesays, they make the best chicken fingers & french fries!!). Then it was back to home, where she opened her gifts from Lindsi & I....



On Sunday, it was off to church & then over to the bowling alley for a very fun birthday party. Between cousins, classmates, & friends, we had 14 bowlers. The kids had a great time. Jami was over the moon excited & could not help smiling all afternoon.



Even Ian (my nearly 11 yr old nephew) couldn't resist the bowling. Despite the fact that he BROKE his arm in 2 places at school on FRIDAY. They will see if the swelling is down enough to cast it today. It's a wonder what drugs can do!!!!


Then, it was over to my parent's house for some swimming & a cookout with family & out of town friends. We left about 9:30. Even though we live only a few miles away, Jami was sound asleep by the time we got home.

What a wonderful weekend we had celebrating our very special girl!!
