Hope's 6th Birthday

On Saturday, Hope turned 6-years-old. We actually celebrated her birthday for 4 days, spreading out the celebration since Cherish was sick with a fever.

The weekend began Friday afternoon with a tea party, movie night, and slumber party in the living room. We had dinner--as the tea party--in the living room with tables and chairs set up. (Cherish worked very hard to make it extra special.) Then, Hope got to pick out a movie for the family to watch, and Derek pulled mattresses off beds and set up the beds in the living room. We camped out together for the night.

The next day we took Hope to get fitted for new shoes. At 8½ Wide, Stride Rite was the only store for her. She got a new pair of shoes to make her feel like a princess.

Then, we were off to Chick-fil-A for some play time on the playground and the first of Hope's birthday cake time. Pappy and Nanny were able to join us.

Cherish was so excited to know that Hope was going to be joining

her in the Barbie-make-believe-world!

Hope finished off the decorated butterfly cupcakes before we got a picture...

With Cherish's energy drained and Hope wanting to play with her Barbies, we headed back home for the girls to play together. Andrew and his trucks joined the girls and took their Barbies for truck rides. J

Hope took some snacks to Sunday School the next day to celebrate with her class, and Monday we were still celebrating her! I mean, why not?

Happy 6th Birthday, Sweet Girl!

We hope this year will be your best yet!
