Alex Turns 6! All About Al!

My baby turned 6 on Saturday!  We made sure her day was extra special, and she told me multiple times that she really enjoyed her special day.  First up?  Donuts for the birthday girl! 


And because...why not? We put a candle in her donut and sang happy birthday (which one be one of 3 times she got a candle and the Happy Birthday song sung to her on this day).  Ha!



This year, we decided to do something different other than the same gym parties we have done in the past.  We also decided to keep it smaller.  So, we decided on the cutest little spa party in an old house down town.   She had a great time being pampered with her buddies.

First they got tattoos!  Taylor showing of hers...

Then, they picked their polish colors.


Alex picked blue and green!

Our new neighbor, Brooke who lives in our old house across the street.

Rylee from school!

Aubrey and Hailey who lived right next door to us, and now live across the street!

Alex's BFF Gwynie!


After nail polish, they soaked their piggies and got to use a sugar scrub and vanilla lotion.  It smelled wonderful!



Then, they all got touch-ups on their nails.  Because when you are 6 it is REALLY hard to hold still and not mess up your fresh polish.  LOL.

Then, they got to go in to a special room that was all set up with cookies and ginger ale.  Very fancy. They loved it!


Happy Birthday and candle #2!


Smile, ladies!

Kenzie, Taylor, and Brooke.

Fancy fancy!

After their treats, they opened gifts.  Alex got to sit in the big, special fancy chair.




She was spoiled!  And since we ended early, the girls had a dance party. 

Brooke was the DJ (not a fan of dancing--don't blame her--I need a couple shots of vodka to get in the dancing mood).  Ha!






Alex got some cute cards from her grandparents. 

Larissa joined me with her nice camera, and got some really good shots! These are the pictures she captured:




I feel like Alex looks 16 in this picture!





I made a toast, and I'm so glad that Larissa captured it.  To Spa Day!








Our neighbors are quite the gymnasts!

Kyla striking a pose (friends with JR and Alex), her mom Erin took care of both kids when they were 12 week old infants! 


After the party (I was exhausted), we came home and then met grandma and grandpa for dinner at Alex's choice:  Noodles and Company.  Their Mac N Cheese is her FAV.  JR wasn't too happy about the food choice, but oh well.

We surprised her with an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. 



Happy Birthday and candle #3!


One of her gifts was a journal that lights up. She loves it!

Sunday we woke right up and made lip balm from a gift she received.  It was a mess!

I went to a baby shower planning meeting in the afternoon, and we just took it easy Sunday night.   Today, the kids are off of school due to the holiday.  Not much going on this week--it will be nice to chill a bit.
