I had a birthday last Sunday. As I'm the family photographer, I have no pictures from the occasion to share, but Faith turned 6 last month, and I do have photos from then.
Faith specifically wanted a party with streamers, hats, and noisemakers. She wanted a pinata too, but I vetoed that. Here she is with her Mawmaw and Poppy, all wearing party hats.
She loved Eric's Cookie Monster cake last year and requested one for her birthday this year. Everyone had blue teeth and tongues, and I had blue fingers just from cutting the cake!
There were also balloons. Faith got a Cinderella balloon, but with two children in the house, the sibling of the birthday kid gets a balloon, too. (It saves chasing and screaming and fighting over the balloon for days afterward.) Here is Eric with his Lightning McQueen (or, as he says, "CarQueen") balloon and a red noisemaker.
And here is Faith with her new doll. She also got a Dora DVD, a horn for her bicycle, an "I Spy" board game, and some new clothes. When I was a kid, clothes were a boring present; I always felt I'd been tricked when I opened a wrapped package and found it was only clothes, but Faith loves new clothes and likes to try them on right away.
