Heidi is Six!

 

Happy birthday to this beautiful six-year-old girl!

 We started off the day as usual with chocolate waffles! Actually, the day started with Heidi waking up early in her brother's room because we let her have a sleep over with them as part of the birthday fun (Natalie was very good about sleeping alone in the girls' room in her crib). Heidi opened a couple of her presents last night as well to give her more time to appreciate and enjoy each gift rather than opening them all up at the same time. She talked to her grandparents in the morning so they could watch her open their gift.

She got another American Girl doll from Austin's parents (talk about spoiled!) and a scooter from my dad (she has been wanting one for years).

Heidi laughs with her eyes closed when she thinks something is very funny or when she is embarrassed :)

All the kids wanted to be involved in the cake making. It took twice as long, but we had all day because we cancelled school and I had more patience than usual.

The boys were eager to teach Heidi to play Minecraft and she was excited to learn, but it didn't keep her attention for too long.

Trevor and Natalie were just excited to play with the balloons.

In the afternoon, a friend from a few houses down came over to play with the kids. They ran around for awhile then had a water balloon fight on the trampoline. Heidi wanted hamburgers for dinner, so Austin cooked them then we had cake and the kids watched Sleeping Beauty- picked by Heidi of course!
