Sawyer turned 6 this week! Where, oh where, do the days and years go? She is such a sweet thing. I mourn the loss of her baby days but there is such beauty in these days, too. Her independence allows us to do more than before and she’s just growing up to be such a pleasure. She is – truly – one of my favorite people to hang out with!
On her actual birthday, we went out for Chinese and ice cream – her choice and then opened presents when daddy got home.
She doesn’t have the most crazy, expressive personality so she didn’t really say just a whole lot regarding dance lessons, but as the night wore on, she tried on every outfit and danced her heart out for over an hour. She’s gonna love it!
Today, she had some little friends over for a Robin Hood birthday party! We LOVE that movie! Why, oh why, don’t they make little kids movies like THAT any more?! I made the mistake of taking the kids to see “The Secret Life of Pets” earlier this summer. I did my homework beforehand and read reviews and really thought it was gonna be fine. The first 15 minutes were REALLY cute. What wasn’t cute, was pets that band together to KILL their owners. Yes, that’s right. My mind was blown. Are there really no creative individuals out there that can think of a better storyline than that FOR CHILDREN?!
*Ahem*
Back to the party. It was really fun! She invited 4 of her little friends (and brother, too!) and we made Robin Hood hats, shot arrows at balloon targets and watched the Disney classic! She had a great day, as evidenced by her never-ending smile, even at bedtime!
Here are a few pictures from the day!
I am a sucker for last minute projects, I guess and made her this little shirt last night to wear today.
She looked as cute as a button!
She wanted to wear braids so her Robin Hood hat would fit well. 🙂
She had a GREAT time. And my feet hurt. Must’ve been a pretty good day…
