It's a Jolly Holiday With Mary

Happy Birthday Mary! We've got a 6 year old in the house. Mary's birthday extended on into eternity it seemed but the celebrations are finally done. Sunday was the big day and we celebrated as a family.
The chosen birthday meal?--chicken, seashell pasta, and green beans.
Lots of fun presents including princess makeup, Hannah Montana sheets, Magic Tree House books; also a CD player from Nanny and Papa, a Tinkerbell doll and Tinkerbell music box from Grandma and Grandpa and a waterdoodle book and a jewelry making kit from her sets of cousins.
She's been wanting make-up FOREVER
A big fan of Magic Tree House--kids pretend to be Jack and Annie a lot at this house.

Fast forward to Tuesday when her dad picked her up after school and took her out to lunch--Mary's pick? Friendlies--she knows that ice cream is included, so I think it was the obvious choice.
The party with friends was yseterday. She chose a jungle animal theme. I was pretty happy with how the cupcakes turned out.
We thought face painting would be fun. I practiced the day before and got some cool butterflies figured out.


Come partytime, most kids opted for animals on their cheeks.

Some party pics below:



The day ended with a bang, or should I say a SPLATTTTTTT! Oops!


Happy birthday, Mary. It was a lot of fun getting to celebrate with you! I'm one lucky mom.

...Mary makes your 'eart so light
When the day is gray
And ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright!
Oh 'appiness is bloomin'
All around 'er
The daffoldils are smilin'
At the dove
When Mary 'olds your 'and
You feel so grand
Your 'eart starts beatin'
Like a big brass band
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!
We love you, Mary!
