Sydney's Birthday

Sydney had such a fun, little birthday this year.  She was so excited to be able to celebrate in school.  On a kid's birthday, we let them wear a birthday crown, sing happy birthday to them, let them blow out "candles," and let them pass out birthday treats if they want.  We've had a few birthdays in our class already, and Sydney was really looking forward to being able to do this on her birthday.  The only problem was, she wanted to turn 5 instead of 4, like all the other kids in her class.  I told her that she'd turn 5 after she turned 4, and she seemed ok with that.

Wearing her birthday crown

Blowing out her "candles"... each friend is a candle and when Sydney blew on them they fell to the ground.

We let Sydney open a few presents the night before her birthday, and she was excited.  On her birthday, we decorated with balloons and a banner.  And Sydney helped me make her birthday cake.  She wanted a purple cake with flowers.  It was fun to be able to work on it together.  In the evening, we had a little party with my parents, Allie, Nana, and Jonne.  We had cake and ice cream, and Sydney opened presents.  It was a perfect little celebration.


the cake... it kind of looks blue in the pictures, but it was purple



Singing "Happy Birthday!"




We love you Sydney and had so much fun celebrating your big day!
