Julianna's 6th Birthday

Julianna had her 6th birthday party on Saturday the 24th. She chose to have a "Pajama Party," and invited the girls from morning Kindergarten (and Sara B.) over to her house.

The friends arrived at 5:30 pm, wearing their pajamas. The plan was pizza, cake, and a movie (the "Tinker Bell" DVD).

That being said, no party is complete without Free Play with Friends!

Upon arrival, the girls decide to play with some toys:


And then, they wanted to color for quite a while:



After a pizza dinner, we went ahead and had "cake time!"


(I like that picture: mid-candles! A few are out, and the smoke is blowing from them!)

Here are some close-ups of the cake. I was instructed that it needed to have pajamas on it.



After cake, we started the movie! While they were watching the movie in the darkened den, popcorn was delivered to them, as well as light-up bracelets.

The girls' parents arrived to pick them up between 8:45 and 9:00 pm, while Julianna was opening presents. Home and to bed for everyone!

Julianna was a wonderful hostess! She made sure everyone was taken care of and got them what they needed. She made sure everyone took a party favor before they left: a spool of pretty ribbon, a Disney Fairy doll to take home and color, and a package of cookies!


Julianna loved having her Pajama Party, and was full of smiles and giggles!

Julianna's Actual Birthday was a busy day. She brought a book ("The Pigeon Wants A Puppy!") to donate to her classroom, and her teachers gave her a crown to wear. Due to Open House, there was noon dismissal from school, which means the morning and afternoon kindergartens were combined. The other kindergarteners thought she was so lucky to have all 35 kids there on her birthday!

Since the big kids were done at noon as well, we went out to lunch with two other families.

Here are the Kindergarteners at the restaurant:


Julianna was given a birthday sundae!


It appears that she was sharing it with Nick, whether she wanted to or not! (Julianna, as usual, was a gracious sharer.)



In the afternoon, Katie had violin, and then Julianna got to pick what she wanted to have for dinner. She chose In-N-Out!

(You can see here that she got the American Girl cat, "Ginger," that she had been hoping for!)

We all went to the school's Open House to see the classrooms, and Julianna lost a tooth while we were in the 3rd grade room!

It was her third lost tooth, a bottom incisor. That makes three bottom teeth!

Mommy carried it carefully between her thumb and forefinger during the rest of our time at Open House!

Back at home, we had cupcakes and sang the "Happy Birthday" song:



And at bedtime, Julianna put her tooth in the Tooth Fairy pillow.

When she woke up the next morning, she found 50 cents and a little note in the pillow. It was a tiny note, with tiny writing:
"Julianna,
Because I got to come on your birthday, I decided to give you a present!
Next time I'll go back to the rings and things.
Lots of Love,
The Tooth Fairy"
She drew a little picture of a tooth with a star.

The present was two outfits for Julianna's Tinker Bell doll! I guess the Tooth Fairy likes fairy dolls!
