Mia's 6

How can it be? My beauty queen, chewey chubakka, princess doll is growing up...right in front of me. She is maturing and growing out of naughty little girl habits...replacing them with others, to be honest, but she is wonderful, helpful, energetic, curious, social Mia bug.

She wanted a Goldilicious party this year for her birthday. We didn't just make it up, it is the second sequel to Pinkalicious. Goldilicious is the imaginary pet unicorn. Her invites looked like this: {thank you Becky for the inspiration}

We made "golden" treat bags and found some fun yellow dishes to set the table. Instead of a cake for the party we made cupcakes in mugs like a picture we saw in a cookbook. Can you say yummy? That alone was enough for me to break my diet. Darn cake. And I don't even like cake. I guess I do now.

We read the story, played a couple games, ate lunch, opened presents, ate cake, and then just played for a little bit. I think it was fun for everyone. I had fun.

Then it was straight to High School Preschool, busy after school stuff, and then a band concert for little drummer boy here. He was pretty bummed to have a band concert on Amelia's birthday. "What a waste of a good birthday" is how he described this injustice to Grandma.

Then time for the family celebration. The big bummer about it all is that her present didn't get here on time. I had looked for it when we were shopping a couple of weeks earlier, and couldn't find it, so I ordered it online two weeks earlier. It came the day after her birthday to Nate's office, but his office is not open on Fridays, so it was Monday before she got it. She was such a good sport about it too. She didn't even complain. I was pretty ticked, but she didn't even seem to care. She got her Keens and some clothes, in addition to presents from her friends and grandparents, so she wasn't lacking in the present department.
But she was a pretty happy little girl when Nate brought this home for her on Monday.

Here she is making her own pair of pajama pants. I'll have to get a picture of the finished product. They turned out just right...with a little help from yours truly. ps notice the wrist pin cushion...so cute the way she figured out how to use it all on her own.

And here's to the Birthday Girl turned 6. I think she had a busy, fun, and tiring day.
