Happy Birthday to the one who made me a mommy

Six years ago today, I became a mom. And boy, was I so totally not prepared for it! I was basically in panic mode for about the first 5-6 months but it was all soo worth it to be able to have my sweet sweet girl Ellyse!!

Last night I surprised her with decorating her room with some crepe paper and balloons and candy hung from the ceiling. I did frost her cake and then realized I need to keep it fresh until Friday night. uhhh, okkkaaaay, Jason came up with a pretty creative idea of how to store it without it getting too much air. Note to self: DO NOT decorate the cake until the day of the party!!!

No judging on the cake. I was working with a horrible tool and so you get what you get. Or in this case, Ellyse gets what she gets.

We managed to wrap up the gifts late last night and I knew as soon as she saw them, they'd be mauled so I snapped a pic then.Today, she's getting her choice of dinner, plain chicken with cherries on the side. :)

And tonight she gets her friend party. It's so fun to be 6!!

We're all too happy to have her in our lives!! Happy birthday Lesee!
