Mayah and her big sister Ariel
It's official! As of February 7th I am the mother of a six-year-old. A six-year-old! I'm still coming to terms with this. But Mayah is super excited about being six (how I miss the days when I looked forward to my birthdays. As of right now I'm horrified that my thirtieth birthday--from this point on, I will refer to it as the First Anniversary of My Twenty-Ninth Birthday--is closing in on me at breakneck speed!). She goes around telling E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E that she is "Six today", because, apparently, every day is her birthday.
We celebrated by throwing a party for Mayah--nothing fancy, just a small family party at home. We ate pizza, chocolate cake and ice cream. It was delish.
After we ate to our hearts content, Mayah opened her presents. Because the girls have way too many toys, Duane and I decided to keep things simple and gave Mayah a few accessories for the toys she already has. So she received two outfits for her iDog, a carrying case for said iDog (appropriately called a "Doggie Bag". Hee), an mp3 player (we also downloaded a few songs that are to her liking) to use with her iDog, and a new game for her Leapster.
The girls have been dancing to the incredibly tolerable sounds of Taylor Swift and Paramore (NO Miley Cyrus--Duane and I can't stand her--thank you very much!) ever since.
All-in-all it seems Mayah had a very good birthday!
