Sydney's 6th Birthday

I am really getting out of order now, but I am on a roll!

Syd turned 6 on January 20. I can't believe my 9 lb baby girl is 6. She is very charming, is so sweet to her brother, and does her best at school. What more could a mama ask for?

On her actual birth day we went to Chili's for dinner. She requested a place where she could have cheese dip for an appetizer and a cheeseburger for her meal. This seemed to fit the bill. She insists, as usual, on getting all dressed up. All 7 of us are enjoying a booth made for 4 with Bill on the end. Out of nowhere, Syd becomes drowsy. She begins to fall asleep. Gigi and I are worried. What in the world? Is she getting sick? About 30 mins later Brokeback mentions that Syd had a runny nose so he felt free to give her a magnum does of Benadryl after school. Mystery solved. Before the mystery was solved, however, Gigi gets in a dither about possible illness. Flinging her hand sanitizer around like a lunatic. Insists we all use some. Accidentally drops a dollop IN THE BIRTHDAY GIRL'S EYE. Syd was quite upset about the burning sensation. There is a picture of this on Morgan's FB but I don't have it for your enjoyment right now.

After that we went back to Gigi and Poppy's for gift opening time, since they bought her more gifts than her parents did. We also enjoyed cupcakes made by Morgan. Who then insisted on taking all but a few of the uneaten ones with her to school the next day to score some brownie points.

Per usual, please enjoy the photos.


Asleep at the table at Chili's.


Amongst her many gifts.





Showing off her brand new and beautiful Tiffany's necklace from her Nana! It is beautiful and is something she can wear forever.




Her beloved Tangled Tower. It is the small one. She opened it and Hayden said, "That is Hayden's Tangled Tower, Sydney." She disagreed. I guess his gift of the Tangled horse with a brush and hair clips for its long mane weren't enough for him.


Couldn't be more pleased with the big six on her cupcake.


Make a wish!


Hayden and his cupcake. Meh.

laughed out loud at the Benadryl drowsiness - she was all peppy and then out!

Hayden will someday climb a tower for a special love of his!
