Just what she wanted a big stack of Marissa Meyer’s books.

Owl Socks from Grandma Tam.

A new tradition begins – we are calling it THE PELTING. Ezri rolled a twelve sided die in honor of her birthday – she got a 4 this meant 4 snowballs were hurled at her and the remaining 8 of her years were represented by being pelted with marshmallows. I am older and we’ve decided for my birthday it will be water balloons.

Ivan gave Ezri a Poopsie Dunkin Deuce donut slime kit. Here she’s making the slime.

Sibling and soft animal love.

Cake! Patiently waiting nine-year-old.

New doll from Ivan. He gave her enough hints she knew it started with “H.Q.D.” and had already guessed it would be a Harley Quinn Doll. She likes it though.

This is Rosie the new unicorn in the house.

Cake!

Still Cake!

I was gifted with an emerald frog necklace, so Ezri and I now both have birthstone necklaces modeled here.

The kids would like me to share the sock sloths Tam made me for my birthday.

For Ivan having photos taken before cupcakes was very hard. He really likes Busy Bee Bakery cupcakes and would like to have more than a dozen on his birthday.

Grandma Liz made a cake.

It was a good day for a great girl.

Ezri has recently added yellow to her list of favorite colors – pink and purple and yellow. This hat from Liz hits all three. It came with a scarf in all three colors that has all of the badges Ezri has earned at her skating class embroidered on it.

We tested a new game – Fibber. It is essentially the card game I played as “I Doubt it” or “BS” when I was a kid with the addition of snazzy purple glasses and a mechanic where your nose grows when you are caught fibbing.

Ezri was gifted her dad and her aunt’s 1980s Fisher Price dolls dressed in snazzy new outfits handcrafted by Liz.
Mandy is dressed as Elsa. Mikey is dressed as Kristoff. She has been dressing and undressing the dolls all afternoon and evening. They are now in pajamas resting comfortably. She is planning a doll tea party for them. I remember having a Mandy doll as a first grader, so seeing her again being loved by my kid was nostalgia-riffic.

I made my first layer cake and Aunt Coral gave Ezri the figurines we used to make it Frozen themed. Last year was all about the My Little Ponies, but this year Elsa is Queen.

Happy Birthday – we celebrated all week, but 6 is worth it.
