Nikki's 6th Birthday

Yesterday was a very busy but exciting day for me and one little girl. It was Nicole's 6th birthday! We started out the day with baking cupcakes for her class at school. She and Garrett both helped me frost and decorate them. After Nikki got on the bus to school it was time for me to do some last minute gift shopping and getting balloons. By the time I got back home I just had enough time to change a diaper and head over to the school to take the cupcakes to Nikki's class. It was so fun for her. She was also excited to show her friends her younger brothers. When school was out we raced home to bake her cake and finish cleaning up, wrapping presents, and eating dinner (well, most of us...Garrett slept instead). About a half hour before party time we decorated her big heart shaped cake. Both of us did the frosting and then I let Nikki put on her own decorations and candles. By the time everyone arrived here we were just waiting for one more person.....Curtis to join us via web cam! It was so exciting for all of us when he was able to see everyone here and they could see him. It was nice to have him participate since he missed Nikki's birthday last year. We had most of my family there and my in laws. It was a great party. Happy birthday Nicole!
