Sydney Turns Six

My baby girl turned 6. I can't believe it. But I'm so glad she still seems like a little girl. She is full of wonder and excitement and curiosity. She is sweet and sensitive. She reminds me to be better.

We were in Thousand Oaks over 4th of July weekend for Alisa's wedding, and we got to celebrate Sydney's birthday with the family at the beach and the park. It was the perfect day.

She came down the stairs to donuts and some presents

Noah enjoyed his donuts

Sydney loved the My Little Pony castle from her grandma

the Birthday Bird book!

cuddles with her grandma and grandpa

We then headed to the beach! What better way to spend a birthday?

Sydney spent the whole time collecting seaweed and building a massive pile

Sydney loves her cousin, Meili

Ian and Max

We then went to the park next to my parents' house to catch crawdads

our Build-A-Bear birthday tradition

back home for cake and presents!

I love this girl with all my heart.
