Audrey turned 6 on May 2nd! She had been asking for a Hello Kitty birthday, so I did my best to deliver. I wasn't sure how I was going to pull everything off because we had so much going on, but Doug and I found a way to make her birthday as special as possible.
The rainbow on the Hello Kitty cake was a must because Audrey loves rainbows!
The one thing she wanted for her birthday was Kaya. She is the Native American doll from American Girl. Audrey had been asking for Kaya since last fall so it was very special for her to finally get her for her birthday.
After taking Audrey to the American Girl store we let her pick out a couple dresses. She loves dresses and so it was another birthday wish she had. At the mall they had an indoor Merry-go-round so rode that before heading to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.
When we got back from Chesterfield Mall in MO the neighborhood kids were coming home from school, so we invited them over to sing her happy birthday and have some cake.
Overall it was a nice, quiet birthday with most of the day just being together as a family. I enjoy celebrating our birthdays like this once in a while and I think it's a good reminder to the kids that every birthday doesn't need to be a blow out with tons of kids and activities.
Happy Birthday to my sweet, strong willed, beautiful little girl. She challenges me in ways no one else could and I'm a better person and mom because of her.
