The Big Birthday Week (Day One)

My oldest and third born girls are exactly 5 years and one day apart. So we end up dedicating a week in August to them and their special days.

These posts are always so hard for me. My little Em is six yrs old and heading into 1st grade. For her special day, she chose to go to the beach.

Look at those sandy fingers. She is so excited to "finally" be six!

Here is her collection of white shells.

She wanted to be buried int the sand so her good friend Nana helped her. Normally not something I am to thrilled about (It is not easy getting the sand out of all of the cracks and crevices).
For dessert, she wanted the "Sheree special" (angel food cake, fresh strawberries, and ice cream).

Strawberries are one of her favorite things in the world right now. Along with Fancy Nancy, the movie the Princess Bride, her dog (Mushu), music, and her DSi.

Happy Birthday big girl!! We ♥ you!!
