Amelia Turns Six
October 30, 2009
…alternately titled, “The Second of Two Parties Celebrating Amelia’s Sixth Birthday”…
Amelia turned six on a Sunday…here we are leaving for church.
Amelia wore a dress that my aunt Dulcie gave her at her first party!
After church we went to a farm for apples & cider, picked up some Chinese food for lunch, and went home to get the house ready for the party.
For her party, she insisted on wearing the same dress she wore at her 5th birthday party! It barely fit her, but she really loves that dress. We got it at a yard sale for five dollars, so I guess we got our money’s worth if she wore it for two of her own birthdays! She received a gold fish bowl and gift card to pick out a goldfish from Grandma Sharon:
Two of her friends came with assorted family members, plus Grandma Sharon, Aunt Miki, Cynthia, and my uncle Greg & aunt Ellie and cousin Heather.
Playing with her friend Sonja:
She chose brown frosting…brown is her favorite color!
It had been a long day…
This is what happens when you treat your child like a princess all day long! It’s a good thing birthdays only come once a year!
At her check-up the day after her birthday, she was still at the 95th percentile for both height and weight, as she has been her whole life. Two of her six-year molars are in, and the other two are mostly in. She hasn’t lost any more teeth since the two she lost at 5 1/2, but at least 3 are loose. We had her pictures taken and will send them out in a few weeks with thank-you notes….and now she is six.
I just love, LOVE her hair! So cute–awesome job Jess!
So did she get a fish yet???
