A GROOVY 6th Birthday!

Saturday Lauren turned 6 years old.  My baby is 6 and is such a blessing; full of life, laughter, love, and cuteness! 

We started our birthday celebrations on Saturday morning with chocolate chip pancakes and sausage.  Lauren opened her Rainbow Loom presents and then we were off for the day's sporting events.  Nick pitched an awesome baseball game that included 6 strike outs!  He is only allowed 45 pitches a game (then you have to rest 1 day), so 6 outs due to strikes is all kinds of awesome!  This was a sure boost to his confidence as well.  :) 
Next Lauren had gymnastics, then we went out for Lauren and Ryan's birthday lunch at Mikado Japanese Restaurant.  While there, we jumped up and down to WVU's win over Oklahoma State, and then it was home to prepare for the next day's big event:  A Groovy Tie Dye party!

Lauren's party was so much fun.  F - U - N.  Lauren and her friends were all smiles the entire party and I enjoyed each and every one of those kiddos.

I'm a swell cookie cake decorator.  HA!

 

We snacked.  We chit chatted.  Then the party really got started.  We TIE DYED!

 

 Then we played groovy water balloon toss games.

 Then we played groovy dance freeze games.

Then it was time to sing to the groovy birthday girl and cut that groovy cookie cake.  We sang LOUDLY.

 

Then we took some groovy pictures.

 Then we opened some groovy presents.

And then we said goodbye to our most groovy friends.

Monday morning we wished Ryan a Happy 36th Birthday, and kissed him goodbye as he headed on a jetplane to Vegas.  All business for a few days in Kingman AZ...then pleasure will ensue...stay tuned!
