Sidney is 6!!

It's true! Our sweet girl is 6. Man, time flies. Sidney was very excited for her birthday! She started off with some bday pancakes.

She had quite the fan club for her birthday. Porter and Rylee were very nice to Sidney and made her day extra special. Rylee kept singing "Happy Birthday to You".....all day long!

Sidney had been asking to get her ears pierced for about 3 months. We told her maybe for her birthday. I thought she would change her mind, but she just got

more and more excited as her birthday got closer. So we decided she was ready.

She could hardly wait, she asked about every 5 minutes if it was time to go yet. She picked her earrings, you'll never guess.......yes the pink ones! She only got nervous when the girl was marking the spot. I told her she didn't have to do it if she didn't want to, but she was brave and squeezed her bunny and my hands and it was over! She opened her eyes wide, smiled and said, "I can't believe I have pierced ears!!" So funny. She was excited to check them out in the mirror.

Checking them out again at home. She has been very careful and we are cleaning them really well, so far so good.

Opening presents. Thank you to Grandma's and Grandpa's, Great Grandma's and Great Grandpa's, family, and friends for all of the presents and phone calls. This girl felt very loved.

Fun Strawberry Shortcake cake. Sidney is all girl and with that comes a lot of emotion. I love it when that emotion is SO excited. She made me feel very good about the very homemade cake!

Grandma and Grandpa came over on Saturday to celebrate. Grandma's cake really put mine to shame! Our good friend Shelly that works with my Mom made this awesome cake. Sidney loved it!

More presents, and lots more emotion!

Porter and Rylee got in on the fun with special "Thanks for being a good brother and sister all year" presents!

Sidney is such a sweetheart. She brings joy, laughter, emotion, and pink to our family. She loves her little sister and totally looks up to her big brother. She is our girly girl, but loves Star Wars and anything Porter is doing. She is loving Kindergarden and making lots of friends. She seems to have grown up so much this last year. She says she had the "best Birthday ever because I got to get my ears pierced!" Six years ago I was so excited to meet our first little girl, we have been best friends ever since.

Happy Birthday sweet Sidney girl! We love you!
