Big Six Year Old

Jennah turned six years old on Sunday. We always celebrate her birthday with Jacksen's on the 1st. It works out well for us but one of these years she is going to want her own party. We always like to do something special for her around her birthday too. Jonathan sent her flowers at school on Friday. She adores flowers like her mom. Jonathan has sent her flowers every year for her birthday since she turned two. I always thought it was really sweet. I heard a famous basketball player say once on Oprah that he always sends his daughters flowers so when they get older they won't fall in love with the first guy that brings them flowers. I thought that was smart thinking.

This weekend we took the kids to Build a Bear Workshop. They all got gift certificates for Christmas and were all going crazy wanting to use them. We let Jennah pick where we ate lunch. She decide to eat at the mall. Jennah and Jacksen thought it was so neat that they got to eat where ever they wanted without us all deciding as a family. Jon and I thought it was so funny. We couldn't believe they thought that was such a big deal. I guess we need to take them out more often. Build a Bear was so much fun. The kids had such a good time. I am going to get a picture of each of them with their creations. We spent about an hour putting them together. They stuffed, washed, brushed, and dressed their new animals. They were so proud of them. It was kind of expensive, but it was well worth the money for once a year or so.
