Rachel's Birthday......2 months late......

Bad mommy!! I can't believe I completely forgot to post pictures from Rachel's birthday....actually I can believe it seeing as I've yet to get thank you's in the mail..... anyway, moving on. Our beautiful girl turned 6 this year. Six is a big one! As she keeps reminding us, only 4 years until she is 10. (Apparently something magical happens at 10......I'm hoping for the magical ability to clean her room : ) It has been amazing to see her grow in maturity both socially and emotionally! She has become very confident in her decisions and I hope she continues to grow that independence. She loves school even though it's "a lot of work". She loves music and recess. She loves her brothers and has grown into quite a little mama. She makes sure to let me know EVERYTHING that Jacob isn't doing just perfect! She had a wonderful "Not so Sleepover" birthday party complete with a movie, pj's, and popcorn. Only difference was everyone went home! Maybe next year I'll be brave enough to endure an actual "sleepover". Verdict still out on that one......
