Sophie's Rainbow Party

Happy 6th Birthday Sophie!

Happy 6^th Birthday Sophie!  I am pretty sure you are the cutest six year old ever!  You ooze sweetness and cuteness. You love hugs and snuggles…you have always been our snuggliest child.   

This year was a great and growing year for you!  You started kindergarten this year.   I was anxious to see how you would do in school, having Gracie already set such a high bar for our family.  But you impressed me all year!  You are SUCH an amazing reader and so smart!  You love writing notes and stories and pictures.  Dad and I find notes on our pillows all the time.  I love those sweet notes.

  Jake and I crack up all the time at things you say and notice.  The other day we had a little family testimony meeting for family home evening, and each child had a turn to bear sweet testimony.  After it was all over, we asked how you all felt and what you thought about it.  After much thought, you very matter-of-factly said “I think next time instead of saying A-men, I’m going to say Ah-men.”   

Sophie, you are turning out to be such a wonderuful, sweet girl.  We're so glad you're ours!   

This year you requested a RAINBOW party.  We had so much fun planning all things rainbow.  To top it all off, we got to celebrate with a whole bunch of family at Grandma and Grandpa Shaw's.

Rainbow Jello

Rainbow Layer Cake. This was quite the project.  I actually had to make it TWICE because the first time all seven layers stuck to the pans.  But it was all worth it when I saw your face as we cut it open!

Sophie personally made all these pots of gold at the end of the rainbow for all her guests.

...like this one!

Cute little pots of gold.

We are so lucky to have such fun people to celebrate Sophie's birthday with her!
