Amelia is 6!

Our sweet Amelia is 6! Her birthday is always at a busy juncture and this year was no exception. I took the girls to a baby shower in Minnesota by myself for a very short weekend trip. We returned Sunday and launched ourselves into a very busy Monday during a busy week before a long Easter weekend.

We picked up the kids after school so we would have time for dinner between school and a soccer game Scheduled for the evening.

Amelia has been talking for weeks about her birthday selection for dinner. She got to choose our dinner destination. She finally went with a local pizza place.

The soccer game was outstanding- quite possibly the best Amelia has ever played. We came back home for singing and cake and baths. Soccer makes for messy kids!

Amelia finally selected chocolate cake with chocolate frosting as her choice. Each decision is almost painful as she deliberates so seriously and slowly. Luckily, John was able to complete the cake while I was driving back home with the girls in tow.

Amelia's teacher made her an adorable birthday crown, which she wore proudly all day. She chose to take powdered sugar doughnuts and juice for her class.

Amelia is surely a very special girl! We are so happy to have her in our family. We are very proud of the young woman she is becoming!
