Sassy 6 year old

Like so many times before, this should have been posted long ago. Oh well, at least I am getting to it now.

Ava Grace turned 6 on July 30. I CANNOT believe my baby girl is 6 - WOW! We had talked about what kind of party she wanted to have to celebrate her birthday. I suggested swimming, roller skating and some others that are escaping me now, but she had her heart set on a Sweet & Sassy Party. Sweet & Sassy is this perfectly girly salon for kids. They do hair, nails, dress-up... you name it! So fun!

So, the two of us put our heads together and came up with a plan to celebrate her, all day!!! We decided to go to the movies (Tinseltown has a summer movie club for $1 a movie), Chick-fil A for lunch and Sweet & Sassy to cap off the day. Then we needed to invite friends. She chose 3 girlfriends to share her day with, Keeley, Kourtney and Chloe. When she decided on her friends she looked at me and said, "Mommy, I am the only one who's name doesn't start with the 'kuh' sound." Smart girl, if I do say so myself.

Our fabulous friend, Monica, created these perfect invitations with a day's notice. She is the best and can be found here at You're Invited.

We set out early to pick up friends and make the movie at 9:30. Here are the precious girls in the car before the movie.

At Chick-fil A we played, ate lunch and had ice cream and cupcakes. It was so fun to just have a few friends and really get to see the interaction between the girls. They were funny!!

We even had a little time to kill before Sweet & Sassy so we played at Legacy Play Village and opened AG's presents from her precious friends.

Then it was on to get pampered. The girls were all set to get manis, pedis and dance and play a bit on the runway. Well, wouldn't you know it that the birthday girl opens the door across the top of her foot and cuts her big toe and rips part of the nail. She held it together so well until it really started bleeding. I think she was more upset that she couldn't have that toe painted than from pain. Once we were over that, the girls had a blast. They all have such unique personalities and had definite opinions about their nails. When that was all done, they hit the runway. We have some hams in the group. My daughter definitely is one of them. Check them out...
