Amber Turns Six

I say this every year, but its true, they all grow up too fast.  My beautiful baby is turning into a beautiful little girl.  

For her birthday this year, she really wanted a bowling party with friends and thankfully we were able to comply and even do it on her birthday.

But before the party we needed to complete our traditional birthday activities.  The boys did a great job of decorating the downstairs to begin the day of celebration.

She really wanted to wear this new hoop skirt to the bowling alley but we convinced her to go for non-hoop version of the princess gown.


All three of her closest friends and their families came to celebrate with us today and she was extremely excited.

The older kids had their own lanes but they stepped in to help their younger siblings when needed.  After bowling we did cake and then used the free tokens we had to play the carnival games.  The boys were ball sharks at the skeetball game getting a couple thousands tickets, that they kindly told their sister they would use to get her a toy the next time we came.

Amber was very pleased with her special day and we were all pleased to make it special for her.  She is such a wonderful individual, with deep emotions and strong love, that is returned both by her parents and her doting brothers.
