Happy Birthday, Sydney!

Sydney turned 8 years old today! She chose to celebrate with a sleepover with Lauren and a ballet slippers cake. Her 'party' will be in a few weeks at the post ceramics shop. The girls practiced ballet steps, dressed dolls, and played house with Bryan & Brady (who cooperated only when being fed). Here are a few highlights of the day:


OK, so this isn't a bd picture of Syd. But isn't it hysterical? Bryan fell asleep while painting (his latest and biggest obsession).




We gave Syd a Nellie doll to keep her Samantha doll company. She keeps asking where Nellie's clothes are. Of course I can't tell her she's getting them for Christmas, so hopefully she'll make do for another day!




Nana & Papaw gave Syd a ballet barre, DVD, and tutu--pink, of course!




Syd & Lauren pose with the ballet shoes birthday cake. (The cake was a 2-day project for me; fortunately, Syd loved it!)




Sydney and Lauren decorated cake trains. Bryce joined in, but he liked eating the icing better than decorating.
