ashi is 6

March 30th 2013.

What a day!

An exciting but exhausting day!

It was Ashlyn's 6th birthday...plus,oh, a few other things.

Like...

Bunny Day! 

 She awoke at the crack of dawn to hunt for her eggs and then she gobbled down her birthday breakfast.  We then headed off to a cousin's baptism and it wasn't even 10:00 a.m. yet.

We dashed home just in time for all her darling little friends to arrive for her Mermaid party, which deserves it's very own post, because it was awesome!

After we cleaned up from the party we pulled out the hard boiled eggs and got down to some serious egg coloring.  

And then finally we got around to the true celebration of our sweet Ashlyn  Elizabeth.

She was so sweet and patient as she shared her day with so many other things.  She was thrilled with her gifts, especially her books, and so happy to be having a birthday and to be turning the magical age of 6.  

My baby is 6.  

My baby.

She isn't really a baby anymore.

I love her more than words can express.

She was sent to us to fill our lives with joy and tenderness and because, come one, we needed one more, just one more baby!

Happy Birthday my little Ashie.

P.S. You look a little tired.

I don't blame you.....after a day like today, I'm exhausted!
