Purdy Family Stories: Happy 6th Birthday, Megan Elaine!

She's done it - our girl has gone and turned S.I.X. years old! For some reason, that just seems so much bigger than five. It probably doesn't help matters that she aspires to be 22, but I digress. Her birthday fell on a Sunday this year, and we partied Lalaloopsy style all weekend long.

Her friends joined us on Saturday for her crafts & candy party (see previous post re: Mommy's crafting insanity).

This is her signature pose

No surprise here, but she was a big fan of the candy bar

Best buddy Norah was the first to arrive

Haley & Mikayla got to join us this year, too!

We had the grandparents, Uncle Kent, and Megan's friend Brianna (who couldn't join us on Saturday) over on Sunday to celebrate.

She and Marie-Grace got matching PJs

Out of all of the options I gave her for a birthday breakfast, she chose a hot dog bun with ketchup. Six year olds are weird...

Happy to be partying with Bri!

Present time!!

This was the first year she could read all of her cards on her own

And she's also old enough to understand the virtues of a Target gift card - she's a smart lady

Cake time!

Lucky to have some candle-blowing assistants

After a fun-filled weekend, we ended her birthday with dinner at the place of her choice (Kitchen 67) followed by ice cream at Spoonlickers. It was a wonderful birthday for a pretty wonderful girl. Happy six years, Megan Elaine!
