8.31.13

Layla's 6th Birthday.
She had her heart set on a Wizards of Waverly Place party, since she had fell in love with the series on Netflix and had practically watched every episode by her Birthday.
She insists that magic is real and that she can become a wizard someday, like Alex Russo.
We made our own magic wands, played a game of magic musical stars, and had a wizard scavenger hunt for the star pinata I made.
It was a lot of fun!
She had invited some friends from church this time and LOVED that even some older (8 yr olds) came!
Layla is loving being 6 and feeling so grown up these days.
She is reading at a 4th grade reading level.
Amazing.
And really hates math.
Drawing, coloring, painting, creating anything, you can find her doing art stuff most all the time.
Singing is also something she loves to do, although she unfortunately takes after her tone deaf mother.
Still super cute.
School is so much fun for her and she has a very nice teacher, Mrs. Lynn this year.
Gwen is her very best friend, although I'm not quite sure she's ready to admit that yet, but they miss each other terribly while Layla is away at school.
We sure do love our creative, kind hearted, silly, helpful, beautiful, bright girl Layla.



Enjoying a quick picnic lunch in the living room before the party.


Someone just woke up and is ready to party.


Singing Happy Birthday.







Pinata time!







At the very end of the party, as girls were going home, we got a surprise visit from the postman.
A big package from Grandma Colleen! 
Layla was thrilled!



We sure do love a good party over here and this one was a success!
Now we're already starting to plan the next one!
