Gabriella's 6th Birthday

The Birthday Girl is 6!

Cousin Kandice w/ Baby Livvy

Isabelle went nuts with all the games. She loved it!

Cake and ice cream. 

They had a GF cupcake and pizza for Gabby.

I think that was the main reason we had the party there!

My front toothless wonder

Making a wish!

That blow-up crown has been a big hit with Livvy.

She loves sticking that in her mouth.

Ticket Blaster-- she got the 1000 ticket voucher. Nice.

Gabby loves the unicorn dream lite 

HUGS! Gabby told Travis her baseball glove and ball 

was the "best gift ever."

I cannot believe my baby girl is 6... Watching her grow-up and become a little girl has been so much fun, but also challenging, as I fumble around learning how to be her parent.

A little update... She loves to read, especially Fancy Nancy. She's slightly tom boyish, as she gets down and dirty with the boys but she loves dresses, dancing, and being girly. I catch her singing songs by herself with so much feeling and joy-- it puts a huge smile on my face. One minute she wants all the attention and will perform for you, the next minute says she doesn't like big groups because she feels shy. She's my spunky girl and wants what she wants. She's impatient and emotional and doesn't deal well with disappointment. Her feelings get hurt easily. She loves to draw and color. In fact, she can do this for hours. What an imagination! She writes to the fairies about coming to visit her and makes-up stories about them. Did you know Queen Clarion visits Gabby in her dreams and takes her on adventures? Since I'm a grown-up, Queen Clarion says I'm not invited. She also gives wonderful hugs and kisses and boy does she love candy and chocolate! Hmmm... all of this sounds pretty familiar ; ).
