Lexie's 6th Birthday !

Our little Lexie turned 6 on the 28th of December. My, my, how time flies! Every parent says it, but it is hard to believe that she's already 6!

We opted for more of a family celebration this year. Lexie woke up on her birthday with the kitchen fully decorated with pink and yellow streamers and a birthday banner. We celebrated breakfast with pancakes, complete with rainbow sprinkles on top! Then, for lunch, Lexie requested chicken wings, "angel" eggs otherwise known as "deviled" eggs - but we don't give the devil credit for anything : ) , shells and cheese, broccoli and corn. It was all very yummy. Afterwards we had her birthday cake. She was quite surprised with the "Candy Land" cake that Leah and I made for her. Later in the day, I made her strawberry smoothies, one of her favorite treats!

Lexie received two privileges for her 6th birthday.

1. NO MORE NAPS ! Wahoo! I think this was her favorite.

2. A weekly allowance that comes with responsibility.... CHORES!

And grandmas, don't worry, they're easy chores. The majority of them are things that she is already doing.

I also made 3 little jars for her to divide her money into; one for giving, one for saving and one for spending. You can probably guess which jar Lexie likes the most.

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY LEXIE
