this beautiful girl is 6!

okay, i promise this is the last birthday post!!! The joke around here is that we only procreate in May on Tim's birthday, thus resulting in so many February birthdays:)

Some thoughts on Sydney at 6...

*She is quite the little lady, and refuses to wear jeans. We invest in tights over here.

*Her favorite color is still pink.

*She LOVES to craft. Therefore, there are ALWAYS little scraps of paper floating around underneath the kitchen table and random google eyes stuck to the table. She comes by it honestly though :)

*She shows her love by making us crafts and putting them on our pillows... it's really sweet. in the summer she fills dixie cups with flowers and places them all over the house. in the fall she tapes pretty leaves to everyones walls :)

*Her dolls, barbies, ponies, pollys are tucked away in her closet and never see the light of day... no interest.

*She is a very responsible little girl. She has been taking care of April (her pet hampster) for a year now and does an excellent job!

*She LOVES to organize.

*She loves to dance... especially with her dad.

*She is our "other" firstborn. She is the leader/boss of the kids......sometimes a little too much :)

*She's our "go-getter". From the second she wakes up she has ideas of what we need to play, create, get done etc.

*She is my little helper. She loves to wash the floor, windows, dishes, dust, clean toilets etc.

*She is the sweetest girl with a very easy going temperment. She is always looking for ways to help others. She is very kind and thoughtful.

*She does an excellent job of looking out for her brothers and sisters.

*She will make an awesome mother someday! She loves her little sister and is a HUGE help with her.

Happy Birthday Sydney, we love you! You are a beautiful gift from God!

my attempt at a flower garden cake

we did a little combo party at home, since stella didn't know when her birthday was, and syd thought it would be fun to share :)
