SIX!

Hard to believe, but my first sweet little love turned 6 on November 8th!  She is so sassy, sweet, smiley and smart and we love her so!   

She kicked off her birthday week by heading up to Athens with my dad and brothers! She had a BLAST and got lots of attention (and popcorn, cotton candy, and frozen lemonade, etc!).  She even made it through the entire game!!

Ali is like her Mama and takes birthdays very seriously!  Phew!  Now I feel bad for all of the expectations my family (and husband!!) have had to endure for all of my birthdays!  We kicked off her birthday with 6 year old birthday pancakes, then Ryan and I both met her at school for a special birthday lunch!

We ended the night with Chuck E Cheese (we let her choose dinner and expected La Parilla or Hibachi - but, we were wrong!) with all 4 of her grandparents and our friends, the Holles!  She was so hyper and excited, we did not know if she would ever go to bed that night - it was the perfect end to a fun birthday!

And, finally, on Sunday afternoon, we had a little painting birthday party with a few friends to celebrate our big girl!

I thank God every day for changing our lives forever 6 years ago!  Our bright, artistic, fun Ali B fills our lives with so much joy and makes us proud every day!  Love you, sweet pea!
