Birthday Bash

Who can have a party without cotton candy? Jada is such a people pleaser and a good friend. She loves people and always wants to be with her friends and cousins. She's great at spreading laughter and smiles.Dustin and Shiela became experts at the cotton candy machine. (It only took about an hour of streams of cotton candy floating around in the air :)Jada was very excited about the stack of gifts waiting for her. She couldn't wait to open each one. It's hard to believe these girls are getting so grown up. A day or two before Jada turned six she told me that, "One is never too old to celebrate a birthday." Now where does a six-year-old come up with something like that? Lauri, or Noni (as Jada and Macie would say) was the designated face painter. She's such an artist. Thanks to mom I got to dress as the clown. All the kids loved it, but it took Macie a good while to warm up to me and get used to the idea of anyone having a red nose, white face and rainbow hair. Once she realized it was me she thought it was pretty funny. Cute as a button! The birthday cake is a party hat. Of course there had to be some pink cupcakes in the mix. Oh, to be a kid again :).

Leslie is a great party planner. Jada and Macie are lucky to have such a great mom. Each day is filled with new memories and adventures.
