It's good to be Six!

So Nikki had kind of an eclectic birthday...most of her party was butterfly themed, except the cake which was Spongebob. I guess that is what happens when you send hubby and birthday girl out to order the cake. She was thrilled with the cake and that is all that matters!



Of course the kids went swimming even though it was cloudy and not all that warm. I captured this candid shot of Nikki enjoying herself with all of her birthday celebrating buddies.



I don't know if I am the only one with a kid that generally smiles a really goofy forced smile. Occasionally, I can get a good smile and this right here is the genuine, real deal. Funny how money can make a kid smile...wonder what she is thinking about buying when this photo was taken?



This was our big gift for Nikki. She really loves to scrapbook with me and unfortunately we probably don't do it enough, but when we do, she has all sorts of goodies to do it with...I wouldn't want her to go without...I sure don't!



Here are the girls winding down after the party and enjoying each others company...I really hope they are always close. I feel myself getting sappy and wondering where the time goes...seems like just yesterday when Nikki was this little. I am trying to slow down and enjoy the little things because sooner than I want they become yesterday's memories.

Thanks to everyone who checks this blog and shares the memories with me!
