Aubrey is 6!!!!!

Aubrey turned 6 on February 6th, yep that's right her golden birthday!!! It sure was golden! What a week of birthday celebrations we had. Her day was PERFECT! She was very excited that her peach tree had blossomed pink flowers just for her and that it was rainy and stormy all day (her favorite). 

Aubrey decided back in January she really wanted her hair cut short.  We set up an appointment with my hair lady right after New Years.  Well when we got there my hair lady had her baby there and while she was putting her in the car seat she dropped her.  Yes it was horrible and needless to say my hair lady was very distraught so we left and stopped at super cuts because we just "couldn't wait".  We told them we wanted a short bob (like what she had when she was younger) and what we got was just a little trim.  Aubrey was very disappointed when no one noticed her new do.  So for her birthday I set up another appointment with my lady.  I was SHOCKED!!! My lady kept going shorter and shorter.  I was pretty upset!  I told her a short bob and that I trust her well I learned not to say that again.  But than again it's cute, very stylish and Aubrey loves it so that's what maters.  She gets a ton of compliments and is very happy.  I'm getting use to it I just miss her longer hair to play with.  The great thing is it's only hair and its growing back actually pretty fast.  Okay back to her special day...It was a Thursday and since I have been volunteering in her class once a week since Halloween I had asked her teacher 2 weeks in advance if I could come in that day and she told me no! I was shocked yet again! She did say I could come in the last hour of school to pass out cupcakes (I guess that is the protocol, but I wanted more lol).  Ms. Stapp likes to be in control and not told what to do?!? It was a bit strange since I thought we had a good thing going oh well!  It's Aubrey's birthday and who would want to go to school that day anyways and I wanted to be selfish and spend the day with my princess.  So we played hooky and it was GREAT!!! 

We all went in and woke her up to the Birthday song.

 Checking out her Birthday door.

 We let her open one gift in the morning and Carter opened his table prize.

 Every since the night at Girl Scouts when they made rubber band bracelets Aubrey has wanted to make them at home and to teach me.  It was a great first gift to open because we had fun all day making bracelets.

 Enjoying pink pancakes.

 After breakfast we dropped Carter off at preschool and headed to the nail salon to be pampered. 

 We also did a little shopping and then picked Carter up and met up with dad at McDonald's for lunch.

 After lunch Aubrey, Carter and I went to see Frozen for the second time in the theater.  It's been a long time since I have gone to a movie twice in the theater.  So worth it!! We love that movie!! 

 When we came home we danced away to the Frozen soundtrack and played with balloons while we waited for dad to come home.

 Here are the bracelets she made just that day!

 Yay daddy's home, Gift time!!

 After gifts we drove up to Modesto for dinner.  

We went to John's Incredible Pizza and had a blast!!!

 Rides!

 Tons of games!

 Bowling!

 Aubrey was excited to try bumper cars so her and I did that but half way through she was crying so the nice ride attendant stopped the ride for us.  Aubrey was upset because she didn't like bumping into me, so sweet!  It was pretty loud too.

 We got home around 10pm!!! and still had the cake to do.

 I just love this picture.  It really captured the moment.

What an amazing day!!! I feel so blessed to call Aubrey my daughter!

Aubrey, you are the sweetest most special little girl daddy and I could have ever asked for.  You make us laugh all the time.  You are so smart and so artistic.  Daddy and I are very proud of everything you do.  We feel so blessed that you choose us to be your parents. Thank you for being ours! We love you!!!

 Happy 6th Birthday!
