Birthday of all Birthdays

This pretty little girl turned 6 while we were in Disney World, and she had one impressive birthday week. I try to leave spoiling my kids for Birthday and Christmas, but I'm a little worried this b-day went too far!


We wrapped her presents in newspaper, so she could have something to unwrap in the hotel.


When you go to Disney World on your birthday, they give you a button saying it's your birthday and then all the workers tell you "Happy Birthday" all day. Disney also gave her a gift card to spend on merchandise -- totaling the price of admission ($63)!


That would have been plenty of birthday, but because Aubrie's birthday parties mean the world to her (because she LOVES to get together with her friends), and she had already planned this one immediately following her last birthday, I figured I probably better let her carry it out. We did try to keep it low-key, and it's amazing how much fun little girls can have with just a little home-made fun.


Half the group played a basketball game, while the other half were the cheerleaders (then we switched). The girls also had a backpack relay, played mini golf, and freeze dance. They also dressed up and put on glitter makeup and glitter nail polish in preparation for the grand finale.


At the grand finale, they danced and sang to High School Musical songs while watching themselves on TV (with a dance cam that Aubrie has).


And then it was pizza, decorated cupcakes and an impromptu screaming contest! I was laughing so hard! I'm sure our entire neighborhood heard it!


All her friends knew just what she loves.


It's no wonder Aubrie loves her friends so much! They are so fun, cute, and good to Aubrie!

A birthday tribute to Aubrie:
*I am amazed by your talents: You hear a song once, and you remember it. You have a beautiful singing voice. You are a wonderful dancer.
*You are a wonderful student! Your teacher's only concern was your perfectionism! Your reading skills blow me away, and your nose is ALWAYS in a book.
*You are perceptive to other peoples' emotions.
*You LOVE your friends and are energized by being with them. And, when you are away from them for a long time, you are sad.
*I think it's cute that you think math is too easy and you are in Kindergarten! (Who complains about math being too easy? And especially in Kindergarten!).
*You are a great sister and I could never ask for a better daughter

I love you little Aubrie! Happy Birthday!
