A Most Colorful 6th Birthday

Harper’s 6th birthday was Friday.  Geez.  I’m kind of totally hating on time right now.  My youngest is one and my oldest is now six…six seems really old to me…kind of makes me want to punch time in the face.

Harper is my girl.  I say all the time “She’s my sanity.”  She totally is.  It’s me and her.  We have to stick together in this house full of boys.  She’s this girly, lover of all things colorful, kind-hearted, creativity filled, big loving kid.  We feel way blessed to be her Mom and Dad.  Josh is completely smitten.  Of course he is.

She asked for lots of color on her birthday.  She loves rainbows…she draws them almost everyday.  I knew her birthday door had to be completely stellar.  It was 🙂  Lots and lots of colorful paper circles run through my sewing machine and…Boom.

She pretty much got to plan the whole day.  She requested donuts for breakfast.

Did lots of typing on the computer.  She loves to type out sentences and words.

And oh the Lego assembly.  She adores Legos and we bought her a new set for her birthday.  I love to just sit and watch her little mind work.  She’s kind of so much fun.

We rocked McDonalds for lunch…her request…and that we eat inside the play area…with happy meals and ice cream.  Sure thing Birthday Girl.

We enjoyed cake.  Chocolate cake.  Cream cheese frosting.  And “lots and lots of sprinkles.”  Done and done my lady.

And the birthday kid gets to pick something for our family to do all together.  Harper chose The Color Run.  How flippin’ perfect was that?!?  Totally.  We did the run last year too and Harper loved it.

More picture to come from that colorful mess.

She really had the most colorfully, perfect-for-Harper birthday.  I adored watching her enjoy her day.

Harper Kelley, you my dear are too lovely.  I love being your mom and watching you grow and change.  You are truly an original and I adore your heart.  You made us a Mom and Dad…you changed our world in the most incredibly way.  We thank God everyday for your precious life and I know you are going to change the world.  It’s going to be crazy good to watch.  Love you tons Harper…thanks for being my girl.

    This post made me laugh and cry! I have a daughter too and I adore her. Girls fill their mother’s heart in a very unique and special way, and it grows as they get older. My ‘baby’ is almost 24 and she amazes me in so many beautiful ways!

    Happy birthday, Precious Harper! You are already touching so many lives in wonderfully positive ways!!

  2. Happy Happy 6th Birthday, Princess Harper! It looks like you had a bright, beautiful day, full of fun and lots of love. You are Precious!
