The Birthday Party!

I came to the realization today that it is about time to have that talk with my daughter about being thankful for what people do for you, and give you. Although today was a very happy day for all of us, she had an issue with a lot of what I was doing. It started with the fact that she wasn't getting a birthday party this year. Then went to the fact that I made cupcakes instead of a cake. After that it was the decorations. Oh man!!! I finally sat her down and told her mommy was working very hard to make her day speacial, and that it hurt my feelings that nothing seemed good enough to her. She apologized, and agreed that everything was nice, and that she was indeed grateful. WHEEW!

So,her day went like this, mommy woke her up with a birthday princess song.

She proceeded to the dinning room where she was greeted by the breakfast of her choice:

Mixed berry muffins

mixed berry smoothie

and strawberries

Then lunch proceed her opening her presents from mommy and daddy, which was :

Spinach, and strawberry salads with grilled chicken on top.

Then Aunt Amanda and Uncle Joe {one of the kids favorite couples}came over with MORE presents.

Then, we have this tradition that the birthday guy or girl gets to pick the meals for the day {With-in reason}.

So for dinner we had:

Grilled chicken

fresh fruit salad {With strawberries, apples, bananas and grapes}

salt and vinegar potatoes

romaine salad

Do you see the pattern here? She is by far my healthiest eater!

Isn't she lovely when she wakes up? LOL!

Daddy reading her birthday card from Mommy and daddy!

"Piggy slippers... WHAT? These are my favorite!" That's what she was saying when she saw them!

Her loot from mommy, plus her Barbie backpack that she just couldn't wait to use to start school, so she got that almost a month early. LOL!

Mommy's facebook message to my princess:
6 years ago today I held my babygirl for the first time. She was everything I expected she would be, and as the emotions flooded in that day, I realized she was everything I hoped she would be and more. I was and am, so in love with this little girl that it isn't funny. She is the funniest, prettiest, little diva there is. :) happy 6th birthday princess Nevaeh. :) — with William Parker

I got the Santa, and the cookies, adn then just had to get RSVP's. When all the list were checked, The day had arrived. Everyone was so excited! mommy was away int he kitchen baking cookies, and the kiddos were excitedly awaiting the Santa. Our guest started to arrive to a cookie table that looks like this:

We had card making and had them all sign a family ornament that they got to take with them!

After all the cards were made, most of the kids gave thiers to Santa when he got here, we had a story. Will read T'was the Night Before Christmas tot he group.

I think the kids really enjoyed it! Atleast the ones who stayed still! LOL! It was tiem for Santa to come, so the kids all lined up, and Our elves came over with thier boxes from santa. One with candy and candy canes, the other with small toys.
