we had such a fun week celebrating betsy! her sisters did everything they could to give her a special birthday... a homemade card they stayed up late working on together, shopping for her favorite things, making her breakfast [lucky charms, orange juice and yogurt!] and covering her bedroom door in signs. she loved every single minute of it, and when we tucked her in on the night of her birthday, she said she didn't want it to end! meme made her her favorite birthday cake, she brought treats to school and dance, the others skipped dance classes for us to go to betsy's favorite dinner spot as a family, and i brought her her lunch request to school- her most beloved happy meal. 

betsy is such a character- she is extremely dramatic and loves being smack in the middle of anything exciting. she's sneaky, confident, goofy and loves all things fancy- lipstick, dresses, costumes. she can always be seen carrying around either a caboodle, purse or basket stuffed with eyeshadows, barbie shoes, nail polishes, markers, coins, hair bows, you name it. next week, she opens the school talent show singing "good ship lollipop" and she's quite literally counting down the days to being the center of the school's attention. being her mom is a blast, a challenge and a gift. sometimes it's hard to believe our cherry on top is already 6 <3
