Today my Anne turned 6.
I am so happy for her. She had a great day. Most of it spent away from Mommy at school. I am keeping my chin up about this whole growing older thing. I still have plenty of time, right?? I can't think about it too much. I have to keep telling my self "the present is my present."
She still likes my birthday shirts! That's good. She is the best- bright and fun and caring. We had a penguin party and lots more pictures to come but here is a sneak peek...
Here is one more when I asked her to pose before the party began. She is saying "MOM! enough of the pictures! When are my cousins coming! I am SIX!"
My SIL Jenny was there with her awesome camera and great talent so I know I will be sharing more of this day soon. There were penguins games and a penguin cake. All was happy for the middle child. Basking in all her penguin glory. Happy Birthday Anne!

Happy birthday to Anne - such a cutie pie. We not only share the same name but also the freckles - my mother used to tell me they were angel kisses! Love the penguin party idea and your bunting is adorable!

Happy Birthday to Anne! She is so cute...or should I say pretty? A wise woman of 6 may not want to be called cute.
Lucky, to have such a craft mom.
