Sydney is Six!

Sydney turned six years old on September 6th. We had a very busy day filled with a lot of fun things. We started the day with our traditional pancake breakfast and then we went to NRH2O (the local water park). We meet up several families from church and Sydney had such a great time celebrating her birthday with friends and family.

Next we were off to the mall to get Sydney's ears pierced. She has been planning to get it done on her birthday for about six months. She was such a trooper and didn't even shed a single tear. She was pretty nervous walking into the mall, but she calmed down and was pretty pumped. When they were letting her pick which earrings she wanted, she immediately picked out the biggest "diamond" earrings that they sold. Needless to say, they would have been huge on her and since she needs to wear them night and day for 6-8 weeks, I talked her into a more modest pair. She knew that she wanted diamond because she says, "diamonds go with everything!" What a diva.

After the mall, we came back to the house and Sydney was surprised with a new bike. She had really outgrown her other one and this one is a lot easier to handle. After a bike ride, Tiffany's family came over for cake and ice cream and more presents.
