Olivia has been anticipating her 6th birthday with much excitement and eagerness. She doesn't like being one of the younger ones in her class at school. So the day came. "I just don't feel like I'm six," she said several times during the day. I think she was expecting some sort of transformation? Maybe she would look different when she looked in the mirror? A little taller perhaps? No, just one day older than yesterday. We tried to explain it to her, but she just can't get over that she feels no different as a six year old than she did as a 5 year old.Today was her birthday party. A house full of little 6 year old girls was a little more loud than I thought it would be. Olivia wanted an "all girl" party, except for her daddy of course, so that she could do all things girlie and oh did we girlie it up around here. Lots of pink and an all chocolate cake and jewels were her requests. Can't get more girlie than that. The girls wore flower headbands and necklaces, made bracelets, decorated jewel boxes, and danced to princess songs and Taylor Swift. I love planning and decorating for birthday parties...almost too much and I have to stop myself before I go overboard. Happy birthday to my favorite little 6 year old. We love you and the bundle of girlie-ness that you are.

6! Wow, I think she does look more grown up than ever before:) I agree, parties are fun.
Happy Birthday to my beautiful, smart and talented Grandaughter -- Olivia you are my kind of girl!! Soon, I have a feeling you'll feel 6 years old.
