ariel's 6th birthday


Can you believe that Ariel turned 6 today? That's right! She is growing up so fast. We had a busy day for her. First it was out to breakfast with my parents and us. She chose a croissant to eat. She wanted Nutella to go with it, but of course, there was none. You can take a girl out of Germany, but you can't take the German out of a girl!

Next on the list was a special surprise-- Grandpa and Grandma took her and Nathaniel out to Build-a-Bear Workshop in the mall to make their very own special toy. Nathaniel chose an elephant with a hockey uniform, and he named him Rex. Ariel chose a special edition yellow bear with silver specks and dressed her in a blue outfit with 'glass' slippers with a silver bow. Her name is Butterscotch. They were so excited because they got to chose a heart for their toy, and also which music for the music box inside. Ariel's plays a special version of Happy Birthday, and Nathaniel's plays a lullabye.

We then took a little break consisting of lunch and a nap for the kiddies. Then I had to go and help prepare for the party at Aunt Lori's house. Everybody arrived on time for the party and we had fun swimming, eating, visiting, and watching Ariel open her presents.

Everybody had a great time and we're looking forward to tomorrow when everyone comes over to celebrate Father's Day.
