Polka Dot 6 Year Old

Today finally came. Amy's party. She had 3 cakes this year and lost a tooth in between. She's been asking for weeks if it was ever time for her party.

Let's Get This Party Started!

Here are the guests waiting for everyone to arrive.After all the girls came, they got to start by making dot pictures.
We had big circles to glue, stickers, and a dot stamp marker. It went a lot quicker than I planned. Most of the games did. We had a lot of time at the end for the girls to play with the presents or play freeze dance. I'm so glad Riley was here to help. He rescued me with a game of Simon Says and showing them Sandy's tricks. I get a little nervous when I don't have things planned for every minute. I think Amy had fun anyways.

Bingo!

Next we played BINGO. "Number 8.... Anyone have number 8?"
"I don't know.... Do you have number 8?" Elli and Riley were the helper finders just in case.

Twister!

The last game we played was Twister. I haven't played this forever! All the girls were pretty twisty!
I think everyone had fun. So glad we finally got to celebrate Amy's birthday!

All That Crazy Snow

This is the neighborhood a few days after the snow dump. For my little driveway, I was shoveling over 2 hours. It was heavy and I was sore! School was out for 2 days on top of the long President's Day weekend and there is supposed to be more snow on Monday. Most people don't have front yards, so we end up with mounds along the street.
Adam dug a big hole in our mound. So glad Santa brought snow clothes. Kick those kids outside!

Amy's Turned 6

Amy turned 6 on Wednesday this last week. She got to open family gifts and cards that morning. She loves the cash!And she loves to draw and color! Thanks Grandmas and Grandpa!
Saturday was supposed to be her birthday party. She picked a polka-dot party and invited 6 friends from church. It snowed all night and we decided to reschedule the party for next Saturday, but I had already made the cake. Too bad we'll have to eat it and make another one for next week too. Her birthday just keeps going and going! She was pretty sad about canceling, but was excited to play in the snow.
