Our Big Six Year Old

On February 23rd Kaylee received a phone call from my mom. She was informed that there was a surprise waiting for her at the front door. Thinking it was a birthday package Kaylee went racing for the door. She found Grandma with a bow tied around her neck. My mom had flown out from California to surprise Kaylee on her birthday. The next day Kaylee turned six.


Kaylee's birthday was filled with presents, cake, and fun. Ainsley decorated the cake this year with a little help from my mom. She did a great job considering that the cake cracked right down the middle when I put the layers together (I totally redeemed myself with the next cake though).




That Friday Kaylee had a Rock and Roll birthday party with some of her friends. They came dressed as rock stars, and upon arrival we tattooed them and sprayed their hair pink and blue (with parent permission of course).


They made guitars and tambourines, played a few games like rock, rock, star (duck, duck, goose), musical stars and pass the microphone, danced in the dark with glow sticks, ate pizza and cake, and had a great time.





I had a lot of fun putting the party together. We didn't spend very much, and it turned out being tons of fun. Oh yeah, and then there was the cake. So I've never bragged about a cake I've made, but this one turned out pretty awesome.

See I told you I redeemed myself.



Happy Birthday Kaylee you great big six year old! You make our home a happy place. We love you!
