Mia's 6th Birthday Party

Mia's second birthday cake. My cake with whipped cream icing melted!

Lala Loopsie cake. Probably tasted good but everything just sunk

 into the whipped cream even though Jaime had it in a cooler.

Whipped cream - low in sugar, but bad idea.

Mia was able to READ her birthday cards

(with a little help)

Mia requested a surprise birthday party this year. So Aaron and Jaime told her grandma was taking her to the doctor's. Aaron said she had six-itis and had to have six shots. I think that was mean. I told her there would be no shots and we would do something fun afterwards. We went to the park and were almost to the shelter when Mia said, "This isn't the way to the doctor's!" Then she said, "This is the park!" And that is when her mom and several other people jumped out from behind a tree and yelled, "SURPRISE!" Cory, Stephanie and Jill are missing from these pictures because they weren't able to come but lots of other people showed up and had a good time.
