Baby Girl's 'Actual' Birthday (2015)





About a week ago, my sweet Baby Girl turned 6.  We already had a Frozen themed birthday party (before school started) so we could spend her 'actual' birthday relaxing. 

Baby Girl decided to wake up early (a half hour earlier than she would on a school day) and get started opening gifts.  She took an entire hour to open three gifts and had so much fun!  It was great to be able to sit around in our pajamas and take as much time as she wanted.

After she (finally) finished opening her gifts she made her brunch request:  French toast, hash browns, ham, cheesy eggs and smoothies.  It was basically everything she could think of!  After brunch she spent the day playing with her new toys before having cake and a pizza dinner.

Cake Time

My niece was in town for a couple of weeks and she helped me put this cake together.  It was fun watching her carefully put the sprinkle candies in the perfect spots.  We ended up only using the larger sprinkles because the cake was getting too full.



Gifts & Cards

I was all set to pick up an adorable ice cream printed wrapping paper when Baby Girl spotted this red floral print.  She really wanted this paper with fancy bows, so that's what she got ;)

The paper is from Dollar Tree.  They have a nice selection of quality paper but you might want to grab an extra roll.  One roll was just enough to cover the two larger gifts.  Luckily I had some plain red on hand that matched nicely for the remaining gift.

Baby Girl also got three cards this year.  One each from Daddy and I and an additional one from the Little Man.  He is now big enough to scribble his own card 'message' and was quite serious in doing so ;)

Side Note:  I'm not a bow person, I rarely ever buy bows.  But when Baby Girl saw them and said, 'Ohhhhhh!' I had to oblige!  So now I'm inspired to do something fun with them.  At first I just tucked them in with my other birthday decor, but I'm thinking a wreath will be a better solution.

I'm going to start buying the kids bows for their gifts.  When I have enough in several colors I'm going to put them all together in a big, colorful birthday themed wreath.  I could always go out and purchase several bows right away, but I think it will be cuter if the wreath is made from bows actually used for my kids gifts.  In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm slightly sentimental like that :D

Bows like the ones pictured here can be found at Dollar Tree where they are 2 for $1.
