Happy Birthday, Maelyn!

Our big girl turned 6 today -- how did that even happen?? It seems like just yesterday she was placed in our arms, so very little. Today, looking at her, I realized yet again how quickly she has grown into such a wonderful, amazing, strong girl who is ready to take on the world.

This morning she woke up to six balloons in her bedroom and she loved them. Even better was the fact that Grandpa picked her up at school and took her out for lunch for her favourite food -- sushi! To top it off, she came home to flowers from Auntie April and video messages and birthday songs from family and friends.


Ailee just had to be included in the festivities... :)


Maelyn opened her gift from us -- plane tickets to Disney World. She has been saving all of her money for quite some time now to be able to go where she believes the princesses are born and live. Although I know she is excited, I don't think she quite 'got' what we were giving her. She will once we are on our way! :)

It was a nice way to end a very busy first week back to school. Maelyn is now really looking forward to her birthday party with her friends next weekend.
