Back to school and Sydnie's birthday

Back to school shopping was so much fun this year. Peyton decided all of her supplies needed to be blue. After a few shopping trips we managed to get all of the items she needed in the required color, just several different shades of blue. Included were pens, scissors, notebooks, folders, a ruler and even a pencil sharpener. The best item that we found that isn't pictured here was blue hand sanitizer! She was so excited.

The blue theme also included her backpack, lunch box and water bottle.

Sydnie continued to be my girlie girl and went for an assortment of items for her back to school shopping. She decided on a LPS lunch box, Tinkerbell backpack and a pink water bottle.

Of course Peyton had to wear a blue outfit for her first day of school. She is getting so big!!!

Sydnie went with a pink Hello Kitty shirt, but was mostly excited about her backpack. :-)

The excitement of the first day of school!


Sydnie was so excited for her birthday to finally get here. It seems like it takes forever between Peyton's birthday and hers (at least to Sydnie). She was excited to turn 6. Oh my, she is growing up!!! We celebrated with chocolate cupcakes.

Mmmmm. My girls LOVE frosting.

Then came lots and lots of presents.

A new set of fairies!

Barbie from a Mermaid Tale.

Grandma Judy always makes sure to send an extra gift for the "non" birthday girl. Peyton got a purple zum-buddy.

An amazing hamster, decked out "Arizona" style with flip flops and sunglasses.

Princess toys.
These were Webkinz of some sort..... There are so many of them!!!! They have taken over my house!

Petshops!!!

Sisters helping each other open gifts. So cute!

A very happy birthday girl! We love you Sydnie Grace!!!!
