Lucy's 6th birthday

Since Michael was out of town at conference, we went to Grammy and Poppa's house for Lucy's birthday. Lucy lost her first tooth on her last night of being 5! She was very excited! :)

Then on Thursday morning, we woke up with a six year old in our house!! It's so hard to believe!!

 During the boys naptime, Lucy and I went and picked up cupcakes for her birthday dinner. While we were there, Lucy saw that they also had homemade gelato. And what the birthday girl wants, the birthday girl gets! :)

After naptime, we headed outside to play. Lucy and the boys were a big fan of the stomp rocket.

We also had lots of water table fun. I think that the kids enjoyed playing with the hose more than anything. . .

Well, except for trying to splash Grammy! :)

Lucy decided she wanted steak for her birthday dinner, so that's what Poppa fixed. We had a great meal and then Lucy wanted to open presents.

More princess dolls!!

Lucy's last present that she opened was a big one. . . a castle for all her new princess dolls to play in. Once she opened it though, she discovered that the box was empty. She stood there staring at it for the longest time, confused. . . .

And then she turned around and saw that Poppa had brought in her castle, all put together and she was so excited!!!!

Alex wanted to check it out too. ;)

We played for a little while but then it was time for cupcakes before bed.

All during cupcakes, Alex and Charlie sang "Happy Birthday" for Lucy. 

Charlie had a hard time believing that Lucy was really six. . .

I have a hard time believing that she's six years old too, Charlie. I still think she should be three years old. :) Happy birthday, sweet Lucy. What an amazing kid you are. We are so proud of you and so thankful you are a part of our family. We love you!!!
