Happy Birthday, Baby!

Today my baby is 6 years old. She's been asking every day for the past month when it was time for her birthday. She had a bowling party over the weekend with her friends to jump start her birthday week. Thank goodness the side bumpers were up. Bowling took a long time because the balls took about 30 minutes to make it down to the pins, since the kids couldn't throw that hard. But they all loved it.
Today was finally the big day. She happily went to school knowing her dad and I would bring her a cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, fries and a shake from Wendy's for lunch. Lunch with kindergartners is so fun. All her friends wanted to sit with us. They asked us questions. They wanted to be in the pictures. And they hugged us goodbye. Chris even spoke Spanish to two of the kids. It was very impressive.

After school was over, we took her to Silver Diner where there's a jukebox on every table. They play 50's and 60's music and she can eat pancakes for dinner, topped off with a strawberry shake.

Then it was time for a shopping spree. I asked her which store she wanted to go to and big surprise, she chose Toys R Us. After she maxed out the credit card, we headed home and found a huge surprise from her dad. The present said she could only have it if she promised to share it with her siblings. She agreed and then squealed with happiness as she opened Rock Band. The kids wanted to start rockin' out tonight, but we put them to bed and told them their partying would have to wait.
I'm so grateful for my sweet Selena and so glad she loved her special day!
