Miriam loved having a birthday at school this year. While we weren't allowed to bring treats, she loved having her class sing Happy Birthday. Her dad brought her lunch from Wendys and all the kids on the bus sang to her as well. And the bus driver gave her a kit kat bar. She loves her bus driver.
Her party was later in the week so we had a cookie cake on the actual day of her birthday.
She was so ecstatic about her presents. And, to my surprise, so thankful. She gave genuine thanks and glee after each present. She even let Eliza help her. It was how you always hope your child will act when receiving gifts (but don't usually).
Now we won't talk about the tantrums that occurred the next day...
On Saturday, we had her birthday party with friends at the place where she takes karate. When we signed the girls up for karate, part of the promotion was to have a free birthday party.
Done.
All we had to do was invite friends and bring the cake.
They got to play all Miriam's favorite karate games.
Everyone even got to break a board.
After games, they all got some pizza.
And then the best part...
Auntie Rebecca does it again. What an awesome cake!
I love watching her face. She was truly in her happy place--the center of attention--surrounded by her friends and family.
I can't believe this girl is 6 years old!
She is wonderful, energetic, helping, excited, organized, determined, hard-working and so many other great traits. Sometimes those traits might drive me a little crazy, but they make her the amazing person that she is. And I'm so lucky to be her mom.
