SARAH IS 6!!!

Annual birthday picture with Daddy :)

We had a huge party with lots of friends from school plus a cousin or two...

We started out at home and then headed to Build A Bear Workshop. It took three cars, a mom, a Meme, and an Aunt Doodie to get everyone there. Each friend got to pick and stuff a bear, then find a beautiful outfit for their new friend. It was a blast!

Then the party continued at home where each girl stayed for a slumber party in Sarah's new room! Thank goodness for the bunkbeds Papa built! We successfully fit 2 girls on the top bunk, 4 girls on the bottom, and 2 girls in sleeping bags on the floor.

But before bed time, it was present time!

Thanks to Meme who captured each friend as Sarah opened the gifts!

Sarah got a ton of great stuff!

The next morning, Betty Crocker stopped by and made these...

Just kidding! It was me!

We got creative with our teddy bear pancakes!

My table has never been so full!

Thanks to all the girls who came and made Sarah's 6th birthday one to remember!

Our weekend continued as we met Vanessa, Brian, Ethan and Ainsley in Brunswick for a fun fall day. The kids had a blast going through a corn maze, jumping in a bounce house, and hanging out together. We can't wait to do it again soon!

What a fun filled weekend! I can't believe my Roser is 6! Happy Happy Day!

Wahoo! You have been begging for an updated bedroom. Although you loved the rose wall to wall wallpaper, it was time for something that you helped create. We decided first on a bedspread for the NEW bunkbeds that Papa built for you. You insisted on having black because "that's what teenagers like!" We compromised on black, white, and pink. Unfortunately, I haven't yet taken just a bed picture.

Here is your happy face!

We ordered vinyl phrases to stick on the wall. Daddy and I love them! They are so easy to put up, and when you grow up and don't want them, they peel right off!

You also wanted me to paint a unicorn, dogs, and smiley faces on the walls. We decided to compromise yet again and put up chalkboard paint so that you could draw anything your heart desires. As a budding artist, I thought it would be fun to make them framed chalkboard sections so that you can draw within the frames. Daddy did a great job making and installing the frames. Sarah and Molly did all the painting themselves!

The white walls looked a little bland to me, so we painted just one wall hot pink.

Everything turned out beautifully! Even Bailey enjoys spending time in your new room!
