She's 6!

 Sid awoke to a whole new year yesterday.  She is finally 6 like all her friends and what a party day we had!

 Flowers from Daddy

 Prezzies

 Needle Felted Harry Potter with Hedwig

And the number one gift Sid wanted was a new CD player so she can listen to her music at bedtime.  Instead she got a network resident computer with built in speakers and wireless keyboard.  :)   She will not have access to the Internet with this but can listen to all the audio books, music and movies we have on the server while in bed!!!!

A special birthday breakfast before we left nice and early for Karate.  Pancakes and an episode of Peep and the Big Wide World!

Sid was so excited about going to Karate on her birthday.  She did an hour of class and had to grapple with every little kid in the picture above before Sigung mentioned her b-day to the class.  Once he told everyone and they sang Happy Birthday, she got mobbed and hugged and loved!  There were 23 kids there plus Sisuk Alex and Sigung.  This is truly what belonging to a club is about!

Sigung pulling her out of the pile so she can live to see her 7th birthday!

Now it is time for the official B-day swing!  Sigung and Sisuk hold her like a hammock and swing her back and forth 5 times then alllllll the way around for the 6th.  Meanwhile all the kids sit and stand ready to catch her just in case :)

Lastly since she is so little Sigung gave her a birthday hug and then threw her through the air to Sisuk Alex who was waiting about 12 feet away.  He caught her and hugged her too.

Sid and I baked 5 dozen chocolate chip cookies and there were just enough for kids, teachers and parents
with about a dozen left for some to have seconds. Her Birthday at Karate was a huge success.

Next it was a BEST SISTERS birthday party!  Oh what fun we had.  Bella gave Sid a little playmobile set that had playmobile for the playmobile people.  We all thought that was the coolest thing!  The girls enjoyed the toys for hours.

Daddy as always provided the fun and entertainment. xoxoxoxox

And finally the girls snuggled into Sid's bed together and watched Harry Potter 2 on the new computer.  At 11:30 they were finally both asleep.  At 4:56 they woke up! AHHHHHHHHH!

Lots of coffee was consumed, lots of laughs were had.

Thanks to all our friends and family for making this day so special.  Sid really appreciated the gifts, cards, email, voice mail and phone messages.

Ken and I are still a bit shell shocked at how lucky we are to have this bright, sunny, smart little kid in our lives.  She brings smiles and love to us every day.  Bring on the 7th year!!!
