Happy Birthday Gwendolyn!!

It's official.  My little girl is 6 and boy is she already becoming independent.  She even re-branded herself to "Gwendolyn" at school.  I feel that I am a broken record whenever I speak of how amazing Gwen is.  She's so smart and funny. She's beautiful, kind, a total kiss ass at school, and an amazing big sister.  Leo is very lucky to have her as a big sister and Mike and I are so lucky she is our daughter.  I truly believe good things will come from her in her life.  She does and will make such a positive impact on the world and I will have to ride her coat tails!!!  Happy Birthday Gwen.   I love you!

For her birthday party she chose to have her 4 BFFs sleep over.........Addie, Emalee, Morgann, and Lily. I threw a "movie" party where the girls got a stuffie and snacks.  They watched Sleeping Beauty.  I made a purple and white zebra cake.  I am very proud as to how it came out.  I do have to say that the biggest surprise of the party was how crazy the kids were.  There was just so much yelling and running around.  I will though never get tired of a house full of laughter and smiles.  They all slept really well and had a great time.

On her actual birthday we all had the day off from work/school.  We had breakfast at McDonalds and then went and saw Box Trolls.  After dinner we went for Frozen Yogurt.  I even brought a candle so we could sing. It was quite the weekend for her.  Hopefully I get a whole weekend for my birthday too!!
