J's Birthday

J turned 6 this year.  She said she feels like she is bigger and she acts like she is better.  I don't know if either is true but I think she had a good birthday this year.  There was so much to do for her birthday this year because, you know, she is 6 after all and her birthday means the world to her.  I think we got a count down to her birthday for the last 3 months. 

Because it was her birthday she was "Star" of the week at school.  That meant that she got special privileges and she was able to share about herself with her class.  To me it just meant more work but it was worth it because she really did feel special.  We spent about a week before the big day preparing everything.

We needed to find presents and get everything for her treats so that meant lots of shopping.  Also, to start the week she had to bring in a poster that had picture all about her.  We had to get all the supplies for that too.  She did the cutting of the letters for her name and labeled all the pictures on her poster.  If it wasn't so big I could share a picture her but you will just have to come visit us so that you can see it for yourself. Ha-Ha!  For her treat we made rice krispie treats but we made them in ice cream cones with strawberry marshmallows.  They turned out really cute and from what I heard all the kids loved them.

After I got home from work we had dinner and headed over to Grandma's for a short while.  We had cake and just relaxed for a while.  Here's a few pictures from there:
