Jenna's 6th Birthday

Rainbows everywhere for Jenna's 6th Birthday party. She chose the theme and LOVED helping prepare all the decorations, food and favors for her special day. We found a lot of these cute ideas on Pinterest: tissue paper pom poms, fruit kabobs, water bottle covers, and rainbow licorice favors complete with chocolate gold coins. Since Jenna loves to color and do art projects, she wanted to decorate crowns with her friends, and we found rainbow scratch paper for everyone to make a picture.
The kids loved these with their pizza lunch.
The cake was so simple and easy! "Funfetti" on the inside.
Half the girls were still doing their silly faces during this "smile" photo. Games included balloon waddle and a "skittle" walk just like a cake walk.
Jenna was loved and spoiled by lots of loving family for her birthday. She chose Applebees, where we met Grandma and Papa, Aunt Mary and cousins for dinner. She got to talk to Nana and Boompa and shop for a present with gift cards. What a busy day! We love Jenna and her fun personality. She recently learned to ride her bike... all by herself! A few weeks ago Justin took the training wheels off Morgan's smaller bike so she could reach the ground, and before Justin could even put his tools down to go help her, she was riding around the culdesac all by herself! We just stood there in awe, and shouted HOORAY JENNA! She has a zeal for learning... be it riding a bike, reading, writing, math, telling time, or crossing the bars and rings at school. She also helps take care of her younger sisters and teaches them so much! We love our Jenna so much!
