Yesterday our beautiful Jane turned 6 years old!
We started the day with taking her and her birthday treats to school:
(I dipped the top of the cone in white chocolate, added sprinkles, and filled with Jane's favorite fruit salad.)I then spent a lot of the day setting up for her party...
(Thanks Grandma Damstedt for the dress, tights, and WEBKINZ!)We had her party after school and I thought that not many kids would be able to come, but nope- all but 2 of the kids in her kindergarten class and primary class came (20+ kids)
It was CRAZY FUN!
We did a Science Birthday party where we divided the kids up into 3 "lab-teams." The first station was Reactions with B in the garage (fire, alka seltzer, mentos outside, etc...)
Then the 2nd station was BUGS with our very very kind friend Matt (we owe you big) who is an entomologist and he brought some collections and told about bugs.
The third station was dinosaurs with me and we had a big sand pit in the basement and brushes to find the dinosaurs. They each got a little thing for their treat bags at each station:

We had "worms and dirt" for dessert
and then we opened presents (CRAZY and WAY too much)B thinks if we ever do this again we should have a canned food drive. These were such wonderful and thoughtful friends who came and Jane is set for years to come!
THANK YOU!* Thank you Grandma Miller for the awesome package- 3 bags, treats, books, etc...
Thanks Jo again for the bows!
Thank you Heather for taking time and coming all the way over here and bringing the cutest birthday bucket of fun "6 year old" things!
Thank you to all who called, send cards, and emailed!

If I didn't love that Jane so much it would hurt my heart a little bit to see that a 2-Liter of Diet Coke was harmed in the making of this party. *sigh*! Happy Birthday Jane!!!

What a fun creative mom you are. Jane is so lucky!

I'm glad the party was a hit! I'd put some of those presents away for bithdays to come or send them to needy children who are in greater need. JK. Sorry we missed it.
Happy Birthday Jane! Eliza you are the best! I can't believe Jane is so big, isn't there a way to make kids stop growing?
Happy Birthday Jane! Looks like a fun day!
I can't believe that she is 6! It seems like only yesterday that you were expecting Jane! She has grown up to be such a wonderful girl- and what a cool party!
Wow! I want a science party for my next birthday - will you plan it for me? Sounds like it was fabulous!
Happy Birthday Jane!!!
