The week leading up to her birthday was very busy, since we had Ben staying with us. About a month or so before her birthday, I had asked her if she wanted to do her first real friend party this year or have a low-key family thing instead. To my surprise, she chose to have the low-key family party. Since that was what she wanted, I decided that we would take a girls day to the Mall of America to go to the American Girl store. We brought Katie with us, and it was so much fun to just do something special to celebrate my girl. I let her pick out a couple things for her doll, Julie, then we ate lunch at the bistro. She picked out a pet bunny, and an ice skating outfit. She was thrilled. :)
The next day we were able to open presents, go to church, then have her birthday dinner. She requested tacos and princess cupcakes, so that is what she got! I love how simple everything was her birthday weekend, but she was still so happy. I am happy to hold onto the simple parties for now, because I know before long she will be wanting those friend parties!
Miley has grown up so much. She is so much more independent, and is such a great big sister to Landon. I know she will be a huge help when her new little brother is born also. She is such a go-getter, and if she puts her mind to something she is determined to accomplish it. She is a little performer (as we learned this year with dance) and will get up in front of a crowd without thinking twice about it. She loves dance, reading, riding her bike, playing with her friends, jumping on the trampoline, swimming, and being around people. We is such a fun personality and I don't know what our family would be like without her.
Happy 6th birthday, sweet girl!
