Happy Birthday Laney!

Laney is SIX years old!  It is so hard to believe another year with our Laney Bug has come and gone.  This year, she had a "Monster University" birthday party.  Her party was at the Hampton Inn in Seymour so the kids could all enjoy the indoor pool.  

With the winter we've had, the kids all enjoyed swimming and burning off some energy!  I don't know about the other kids, but mine sure had a great time!

Laney invited a few of her friends from school.  We had to put a limit on how many she could invite due to the rules of the pool.  I love that the first few on her guest list are ones that we obviously would've invited (family).  It just proved to us that she understands the value and importance of family!  

Of course, after the birthday party we headed to El Nopal (our tradition!).  Laney was a little bummed because she didn't get whipped cream smashed in her face like normal.  We had to ask our server to do it to her.  There's another thing I love about that little girl!!

She woke up as a six year old with streamers and balloons hanging from her doorway.  I think I might have started something by doing that!  Thanks Pinterest!

Lastly, our tradition of pancakes in the morning for the birthday girl.  She's six years old and she LOVES telling everyone she's six now!!  

I just realized when looking back for this, I forgot to ask Laney these questions when she turned 5.  Oops!!  So, the questions in () are from when she turned 4.  The answers afterwards are from when she turned 6.  Here we go....it's interview time!!
