Jenna May is 6!

Our baby girl really isn't a baby any more! :(
Jenna's birthday always seems to sneak up on us.
I think because we are bustling about getting ready
for school to start and then, all of a sudden, it is
Sept 9 already.
This year we decided to have her party at Michael's
craft store and it was AWESOME! I think the secret
to the success was the help that the other Mom's
gave me and the party attendant. I was a little
nervous, 9 kids, with paint and glitter...it was either
going to be a great time or a giant mess. Thankfully,
it was a great time!


Party People in the House!
Back Row: Chelsea, Joshua, Ian, Michael, Sophia
Front Row: Morgan, Elizabeth, Jenna, Colsen
Missing: Lindsey, who was sick with the flu.
(she was missed and thankfully she is feeling better!)
Lindsey, Jenna, Colsen and Elizabeth were in
Pre-K together so it was fun to compare kindergarten
experiences.

Hard at work decorating our treasure boxes.
We had all kinds of paints, glitter paint and stickers
to use to decorate the boxes. It was neat how no
two boxes looked the same.


Jenna's box.

Chelsea's box.

Colsen (also know as Jenna's boyfriend) and

his box.

Elizabeth's box. I loved her

colors!

Ian's funky box.

Joshua and his "dark" box.

Rock on Michael!

Well done Morgan!

Sophia was proud of her box!

Don't you love her smile!

After we were done with boxes,

we decorated cupcakes. Here is

Elizabeth adding just the right

amount of pink icing to hers.

We had cupcake candles for Jenna's

cupcake. Thank goodness she only

turned 6 because there wasn't

much room left for any more candles.

Pooped out after all of that hard work! Or not,

she is quite the camera ham. She does anything

but give a nice smile when the camera comes out.

Jenna, as usual, enjoyed being the center of attention.

I believe she was saying "oh yeah, oh yeah!"

She received many wonderful gifts,

but her favorite was Ponita. Our kids often choose

the obvious when they name thier stuffed animals. We

have several Blackey, Brownie, Beary, Giraffey,

and Snakeys in our house. We were impressed

with Ponita!

We hope you had a wonderful birthday Jenna! We know

how much you enjoyed seeing some of your Pre-K buddies

again. We love you little Jenna Bean.
