Anastasia is 6 years old!

February started with a celebration in our house! Anastasia turned 6 years old last week! She had been super excited about her birthday coming up, because we promised her a big celebration this year. She has tons of class mate friends and neighborhood friends now, so she was anticipating that this big birthday celebration would be all about her and her pals.

She woke up bright and early on her birthday and was ready to open her presents. Thanks to my wonderful husband who spent an hour putting together this Vampirina doll house. Anastasia had been eyeing this house for some time now and requested it for one of her presents. But, Martin knew she would be happiest if he put it together for her instead of giving it to her in a box. #lovethathubbyofmine

Since Anastasia's birthday fell on a school day, she wasn't able to play a very long time with her presents, but I made her cinnamon french toast sticks and we sang happy birthday to her and she blew out her candle, before getting ready for school.  Look at Jude in the background.. he was so excited for his sisters birthday. Love this sweet boy of mine.

During the afternoon, I was able to bring Anastasia McDonalds lunch at school and eat with her in the lunchroom. Since the school has a no cell phone/picture policy I wasn't able to take any pictures with the birthday princess. Martin was able to get off work early and also spend some time with Anastasia at school. He was the mystery reader for her class and she was thrilled to see him. 

However, later that night she still wanted to celebrate her birthday (yep, we do big celebrations at this house) so Martin and Isabella and Ava took her out to Chik FilA for some playroom fun and dinner. I wasn't able to attend, since I had already committed to carpooling Giselle and friends to choir practice.

But wait, there's more birthday party fun coming right up for this little lady. ha! We had a fun Princess Jasmine birthday meet and greet party for Anastasia and friends. Ok, so my little three kiddos are obsessed with the movie Aladdin. They watch it everyday in the car or at home on Disney.  Anastasia really wanted to go to Disney World to meet princess Jasmine, but I told her we could look into hiring a princess to come to the house, play games, and have fun with her and some friends instead. Of course, this was a great idea and so we hired Princess Fairy Tale Parties & Event to come and help us celebrate Anastasia's birthday..Aladdin style.

Princess Jasmine was amazing with the kids. She danced with them, played games, took tons of pictures with the birthday girl and took individual photos with the kids.

The kid had a blast and I am so thrilled that Anastasia got the big birthday party she wanted. After the party, Anastasia was beaming from ear to ear and kept thanking us for the best party ever. (those were her exact words)
