Our sweet, silly, fun-loving, energetic Kali turned 6 on November 3rd and we had a great time all weekend celebrating! On her actual birthday she woke up to decorations and presents from us. She was so excited she could hardly sit still and eat her yummy pancake breakfast made especially for her. SO we figured with her party on Friday and a family celebration on Sunday with the Stacy fam that we let her open her gifts before school. She was so excited and loves her new scooter and doll. I took McDonald's to Kali for lunch at school and she was feeling pretty special to have Mom and her baby sister Lilly there with her. Kali's choice for dinner was Skipolini's, an Italian/pizza restaurant that has a playground out back and very yummy food!
On our way to Skipolini's for dinner in Dad's new truck. Kali got to ride in the front seat and as you can see her doll "Sophia" came along too. She loves her new ballerina "My Generation" doll. (not to be confused with American Girl Dolls...because that's what she really wanted but I refuse to pay for those ridiculously over priced dolls).
Kali is our silly face girl! Seriously she cracks me up sometimes when I'm trying to get a good pic and she pulls some crazy face. SO then Zach and Madelyn started being silly as well.
Even Lilly wanted to join in on the fun. Haha! Love this girl!
I LOVE these kids!
The PARTY! Friday night was the big Birthday party with 6 of Kali's friends. It was super simple but the girls seemed to have fun. As they got there I just had a little craft all set up for them to decorate with glitter glue, stickers and jewels and the girls went to town. Once everyone was there we played a few balloon games, Freeze dance, and then had pizza. After pizza all the girls got their nails painted. While waiting to paint nails they played Just Dance 2 on the Wii. Once all were glamorous with freshly painted nails we had cupcakes, opened presents and before we knew it was over. Short, fun, simple, cute....my kind of party! Kali had a blast and loved having her friends there to celebrate with her!
I had a little help from one of our favorite babysitters, Alex. It was great having her there especially with the nail painting part :) Thanks Alex!!
We were missing Kinsey from this picture who had to leave a little early. I'm bummed I didn't think about it before she left. Super cute pic though!! These girls were all so sweet and fun!
Happy 6th birthday to our Kali Girl!! We love you so much and can't imagine life without your spunky fun personality in our family!! We are so proud of you and hope this next year is an awesome one!
The Sunday after Kali's birthday(Nov. 6th) and before Mark's birthday(Nov. 9th) we had a family birthday celebration with Auntie Sheila's family and Grandma & Grandpa Stacy and Great Grandpa Hobbs and Grandma Estella too! It was a full house with lots of family, fun and food! Just how we like it!
