Well we had an entire weekend of celebration for Brenna's birthday, but she did really finally turn six on Monday! I surprised her with breakfast in bed (even though she had to get back in bed when I walked in!). She had school that morning and wanted to take a snack to share with her friends. We decided on pink and blue rice krispie treats. My parents left that morning and we gave her our joint gift of a new bedspread. I saved a few gifts for her to open after dinner as a family. I needed a day to recover after the party so it was nice to have a slow day to spend with her. We went shopping that evening to spend the birthday money burning a hole in her pocket! She did very well and chose Connect Four, a movie, and a mermaid doll. I sang happy birthday to her that evening, just her and I, and I cried through the entire thing! It finally hit me that my baby girl was six!
