And now she's six!

Miss Sarah has been waiting for her big day for a long time.  Six is a pretty big deal!! We had a small family party this year and it was a nice day.

Sarah loves anything that requires fine motor skills and lots of patience (puzzles, building blocks, etc).  So she loved this bead set.

We struck gold with some other gift choices this year, too.  Sarah LOVED these sticker mosaics.  They kept her busy and entertained for hours.  We left on our spring break vacation the day after her birthday, and she played with these in the car for a very long time.  A win-win situation for a long road trip.  :)

Another hit-- these Zoobs building blocks.  So much fun, and so many different ways to use them. The kids insisted we take these along on our trip as well.  

 Playing with the new toys.  :)  It is rare when all the kids are home and together, so this was a nice family time.  :)

Happy birthday to our sweet Sarah.  Six looks great on you!
