Missy had her 6th birthday on Thursday. I am amazed at how fast she is growing up! Instead of cupcakes she wanted to take "really big, M&M and chocolate chip cookies" to her class. So, I made some HUGE cookies that were a big hit. (some kids ended up throwing away some of their cookie because they couldn't eat it all.... next time I'll make them a little smaller).
I let Missy choose if she wanted to have a birthday party, or take a friend to Chuck E. Cheese and then to dinner of her choice with us as a family. She thought for a moment and said, "Since we have 2 extra seats in the car, can I take 2 friends with us?" Smart girl! So, she took Emma and Emma to Chuck E Cheese with us. I was secretly very happy she didn't want a party because I have been too busy lately to even think about a fun party (and not organized enough!) So I was thrilled to not have to plan one.
Afterwards we went to Elephant Bar, which she picked, for dinner. Our kids love Elephant Bar! Every child's meal comes with a drink and dessert! And, their meals are huge! Our kids sometimes split a meal.
Lastly, the highlight of the day was when she got her "car". Missy LOVES these cars. So, when a friend was selling theirs, which is practically brand new, for $20, I knew exactly what she was going to get for her birthday. She and Little Dude have been outside nonstop since Thursday driving around. Missy is trying to insist she can "drive" herself to school and leave it there during the day. Haha. Again, she is growing up way too fast.
And lastly, Baby Belly banging on the sliding door wanting to go outside and drive the jeep.

You look too young to have a 6 year old! When Mia gets older we are so skipping bday parties and just picking a couple of buds to hang out with. Nice and relaxing bday for mom and daughter
How fun! Love those little jeeps. Score on finding one used too. Those get so pricey!
Oh, and send me that recipe for the cookies. THEY LOOK YUMMY!
Britt's birthday is coming up this Sunday and we're doing the same thing! I'm all about the party/non party. Dinner, a movie, a possible sleepover, that's good right? My kids love elephant bar too. I LOVE elephant bar. We just threw out our jeep that looks exactly like that! The boys didn't care if it looked like Barbie or even worked, but they were so upset that Doug chucked it. Andon kept muttering over and over, "I can't believe he did that."
I want the recipe too! Those look delish!!
Congrats on your new calling! You guys are going to be fabulous!
Callie, Happy Birthday! I can't believe that you are 6 already!! Zuri sure misses you holding her. We love you!! Can you take me for a ride in your car sometime?
Love, Aunt Stephanie
