Megan is 6!!

Megan turned six years old on Thursday.  I can't believe how fast it's gone by!

She picked cheesy scrambled eggs for her birthday breakfast.

I surprised her with a trip to Barnes and Noble to get her (free) birthday cupcake.  She picked red velvet because she remembered that that kind of cupcake won in an episode of Cupcake Wars (a Food Network show).  She liked it!

I forgot to snap a picture of lunch, but she picked Trader Joe's vegetarian chili from a can.  I thought it was weird, but whatever.  It was her day, and she really enjoyed picking every meal!

Chris, Jessica, and I got to go to the kindermonkey classroom for about 30 minutes in the afternoon.  Megan explained "All About Me" and did a great job.  It was purple day, so all the kids got to wear non-uniform purple clothes.  Megan's outfit was one of her birthday presents from us!

For her school "party," she picked strawberries for the snack, and a Jan Brett book for me to read aloud to the kids.  They loved both!

For dinner, Megan picked out grilled spicy chicken, spinach, green beans, and spicy fries.  Oh - and Coca-Cola to drink - a real treat!

Megan's birthday haul from today.  Katie picked out the books, Jessica picked out the dinosaur capsules and the popsicle maker, Erica got her the awesome sparkly shoes, and we got her the garden gnomes.  She loved everything!

For dessert, Megan wanted "strawberry rhubarb" (cobbler) with vanilla ice cream.  Yum!  What a great spring dessert!

Chris played a birthday game of Jenga with her.  Their towers get taller and taller as they get better and better at the game!

Megan enjoyed a really special day, and she deserved every minute of it.  She is such a sweetheart!  She is having a friend birthday party at a gymnastics center on Sunday, so be on the lookout for more pictures to come!
