There's a New Six Year Old in the House!! . . .

Waiting for the crowd to arrive with brother number three.

Our sweet and sassy baby girl turns six today!!  WHAAAAT??? We've been counting down the days since we turned our Walking Dead calendar to the month of May!!  It's been a loooooong 17 days!!!  : )  Megan said she wanted a rainbow themed bowling party so that is what she got on Saturday.  After all, it's not every day that a girl turns six you know!!

Wouldn't you love to know what these girlies were giggling about??  LOL!!  I love that Megan's friend Genevieve came to the bowling party in her Halloween costume!!  These new friends of Megan's are such a sweet bunch.  I'm so happy that she's fitting right in with them.  : )

These kids are adorable!!  Megan has been so lucky to have such a great bunch of kids in her kindergarten class.  The parents are all  friendly too.  It was nice to be able to get to know some of them better at the party. 

Of course Megan's bff Cybele came and fit right in with everyone.  We hadn't seen Cybele and her mom/my friend Ophie in a couple of months.  It's just so crazy how quickly the time goes.

Trevor came for some bowling and pizza.  The boys were all very impressed that Megan had two big brothers at her party.  Brother number one is currently vacationing in Mexico.  Tough life, huh??

My love.

Meg's friend Colin getting the shake down.  I laugh every time I look at this!!!

All I can say is these kids are a bunch of characters.  Just look at those faces!!  Tonight we're going to our local diner with family as per Megan's request.  She's in love with one of the waitresses there and can't wait to tell her it's her birthday.  Thursday night we head down the mountain to have dinner with my father in law and Uncle Tom (my brother in law from my first marriage).  They've been in Ireland for the last two weeks and come home tomorrow.  The celebrating will continue throughout the week.  Such a lucky little girl to have so many people that love her.  She truly is our gift from above.  : )

Celebrating . . .

This weekend we celebrated Megan's birthday with lots of friends in our backyard.  It was such a beautiful day with no humidity and bright blue skies!! 

 Meg wanted pink and purple cupcakes.  She also wanted chocolate and since it's hard to change brown into pink or purple we compromised and gave her pink and purple sprinkles instead.  : ) 

 Our "adopted" son Jakhai and his family came from Manhattan for the day.  The above photo is Jakhai and his nephew Noel after having a water fight.  : )

Jakhai's sister, Gianna and Noel.

Jakhai's other sister, Gio and her gorgeous son, NaShaun (Noel's little brother). 

Jakhai's beautiful Mama and my Sistafriend, Hope.  It's so hard to believe she's a Grandma or, as she calls herself, a "Glamma."  Perfect!!!  : )

Meg's friend, Isa, waiting for the cupcakes.

Isa's baby brother, Rohan.  His eyes are gorgeous!!  It looks like they're going to be green like his Mama's!!

The youngest attendee at Megan's party was Miss Chelsea.  She just turned two weeks old.  So adorable!!!

My beautiful nephew Andre who doesn't normally like me to take his picture but let me this time.  : )

Mr. Bigglesworth.

 Jim was able to open the pool and some of the bigger kids actually swam in it even though the water was very cold and the temperature wasn't very hot.  The girls were smart and decided to just put their feet in. 

Jim with Isa, Meg's BFF Cybele and Megan.

A very special thank you to Mimi and Grandpop in Florida and Gram and Pop in Tennessee for the beautiful new bouncy castle they gave Megan for her birthday to replace the one that popped last year.  Megan and her friends LOVED bouncing in it the entire day!!!!  XOXOXO

New friendships were made and lots of fun was had.  All in all, I'd say it was a perfect day!!  Couldn't ask for more than that!!  : )


Many blessings for a very happy Thursday ~ Wendy
