So our little Leah Lou turned 6 yesterday! She was so excited for her birthday, the sweet girl . . . she would have really loved a birthday party, but it was just a family party this year. I decided to let Annie stay home from school in the morning so she could go to the Children’s Discovery Museum with us (and so she could skip a field trip I didn’t really want her going to). But when we arrived at the museum, we discovered it was closed for maintenance. Bummer! So we headed over to Chuck E Cheese’s and the kids had fun playing games, trying to earn tickets, and riding the dumb little rides for awhile. I was sure glad Leah had Annie to pal around with. Those two are just the best of friends, and Annie really made it a fun morning for Leah. Then we went home, got Leah’s birthday cupcakes ready, and I took the girls to school for the afternoon. After school, it was just torture waiting for Daddy to come home to start the party!! She waited so patiently and luckily he skipped mutual, so we could at least have a little party last night. Leah requested fried bread for her birthday dinner (a Dan specialty:) so he started right in making that when he got home from work! 
Finally! Present Time!! She was so excited to open her presents. I’ll just let the pictures do the talking.
She’s not really sad in the picture above, she’s just trying to copy the expression on Rapunzel’s face. She’s actually been wanting that doll from The Disney Store for a long time now . . . . Grandma Walton was so sweet to send it to her! She loves it! Below – her birthday loot. Grandma Cole sent her the adorable purse, the striped shirt, and a sketch pad with colored pencils. She loves everything she got!
