{The Big 6}

After Lauren was born,  I remember spending the first few days {or weeks or months} of her life, sitting in the rocking chair, holding her, wondering what in the world I was going to do with this little person.  I remember the panic I felt as I realized we were suddenly completely responsible for another human being, who was totally incapable of caring for herself {Sometimes I still feel that x3}.   I remember leaving the hospital wondering why they would just let us take this baby and leave?!  {Surely they could tell we had no clue what we were doing!}  Now six {yes, I said SIX} years later my little baby girl isn't so little anymore, although I still sit in the rocking chair and hold her.

Lauren is the best little girl.  She is so loving and kind; an obedient little girl and a great helper.  She knows how to push Kylee's buttons, but protects and loves her just like a big sister should.  She so badly wants to be able to play with Bailey and loves to hold her.  She is a good, thoughtful friend to her friends at school and church.  She is smart, witty, feisty, funny, and happy.  She has a very sensitive heart and wears it on her sleeve.  She has a great memory {like a steel trap!} and loves to play, sing and  dance around!  She  would change her clothes 10 times a day if I let her, adding makeup and accessories.  She will never own enough shoes {like her Daddy} and would spend all day crafting & creating if she could {like her Mommy}. She loves school, learning and growing up!

I had to explain to her a few times that she was not having a party this year {we will probably only do them on ages 5-8-12-16}.  However, once she learned we were taking a treat to her class she was elated!  Since another mom was bringing cupcakes for her daughter who had the same birthday, we brought cookies!  She was crowned the birthday girl and passed out the cookies.  A few of her friends gave her cards or pictures and one gave her a BFF necklace!  So cute!

 That evening we had the family over for cupcakes and ice cream!  She received a lot of fun gifts {ie she was spoiled!} and had a blast playing with her cousins!

We love our Big {SIX} year old Lauren and look forward to another great year!!
