Our Rhenner girl is 6! Her birthday falls pretty closely to Dr. Seuss's birthday so she decided she wanted a Dr. Seuss theme for her party this year. She was really excited because it was her year for a "friend" birthday party. So we got invitations out to her friends from school and the neighborhood and we gathered 25 kids into our house for her party! It was a houseful but we had a blast!
Decorations and party food...
Rhen's topsy turvy cake...
And Cat-in-the-Hat cupcakes.
We decided the best way to keep 25 kids occupied was to play a bunch of games. One of the games we did was Dr. Seuss bingo. They all had a ton of fun with this and there were cute little prizes for everyone when they got bingo.
We also did a candy scavenger hunt and the kids had to follow clues to find their treasures. It was a great game for them and they had fun running around our house and the yard.
Present time is always the best and Rhen got so excited with her fun presents.
Cake and Ice Cream time!
This sweet girl is the best!
A few of my favorite things about Rhen at age 6:
1) Rhen is one of a kind. She has long skinny legs and is such a cutie pie - and at the same time is as clumsy as anyone I know! She always has a handful of bruises on one or both of her legs from who knows what. She is constantly falling or tripping but it doesn't really seem to bother her. She usually just jumps right up and continues on playing. Her long arms and legs seem to have a mind of their own sometimes. Josh has lovingly started calling them her "noodles" especially when she starts flailing them around. When she gets mad or isn't happy with something I've asked her to do, she starts flipping her noodles around all over the place. It's such a Rhen move that I can't even compare it to anything else. It's just Rhen.
2) Rhen has a very tender heart. She thinks of others and finds little ways to serve people whenever she has a chance. Often times I'll find a note or picture she has drawn and left for me and it is the best thing! She loves to take care of people, especially her dad who she loves so much! She has been a great big sister to her brothers when she's home during the day with them. Most days I can count on Rhen to help me out and play with the boys when I have other things to do. She is such a loving person.
3) Rhen is a great student. Her teacher Mrs. Richardson says she is doing awesome in school. She has loved starting to learn to read and LOVES to color and draw. She always wants to do her homework and keep learning. I'm so proud of her!
We love our Rhen!
