Anna's 6th Birthday!

Wow!  Where to begin on listing on the activities that have happened to celebrate a certain someone special who turned 6 today...  Anna has had many birthday celebrations over the last week and they aren't over yet!  She is one lucky girl and we are blessed to call her ours!  

It all began with a birthday celebration at school on the 23rd.  They celebrated all the January birthdays, and they had quiet a few!  They sang and got cupcakes and a few other snack.  Fun excuse to go visit her at school!  

 Then on Friday night Lina and Julie spent the night.  It was only the second time Anna has had someone spend the night and she was beyond excited.  But...bad Mom didn't get a single photo of the girls together!  It was such a whirl that it just escaped me!  On Saturday morning, Matt went out and decorated the driveway.  Anna was happy to help!

 Look who is turning six!

 Anna drew a birthday cake and Lina drew a snowman.  

 On Saturday afternoon we had a small fairy party for the girls (plus Mason and Olivier).  They all had a great time.  Of course we had to sing happy birthday when it was time for cupcakes!

Happy Miss Anna!

They girls made "fairy houses, got "fairy" wands, and we made necklaces filled with "fairy" dust!

And this morning, Anna was very excited to wear her "I'm 6" shirt to school.  We even let her wear a tiara.  Oh my!  

After school she was excited to open gifts from Mom and Dad.  

 Ballet slippers for dancing around the house.

 A decorative pillow craft project from the boys.  

 A rock tumbler!

 And a pink chair!
