6 years old!

We can hardly believe little Mari is now 6 years old!  Our little 4 pounder is now 44 lbs!
She celebrated her birthday by having 4 friends over from school on Sunday for a Minnie Mouse themed party.  They played outside, ate lunch (not much though, too excited to eat), made necklaces, open gifts & ate cake (they ate more of that then lunch-ha). The afternoon was rounded off by an all out coloring session. We rolled out a newspaper roll and the kids went to crazy! 10 ft of coloring paper taped to the floor was a hit!
Mari brought frosted pumpkin cookies to school on Monday as her birthday treats.  (oh do I remember the excitement of bringing birthday treats!)
