Look who is 6

Yes, we have a 6 year old in our midst.
The day began with breakfast at IHOP. Smiley face pancakes are a must for kids! We then proceeded home and finished our school day like good little children should. Upon completion we went to Toys R Us to visit Geoffrey's Birthday Club and purchase Chandler's gifts. The birthday club gave her a crown, a balloon, and was supposed to announce her name and age over the loud speaker (but that never happened). We then had her cover her eyes with her crown. Harrison & I then picked out the gifts. Upon making our purchases we stopped at Maggie Moos to pick up an ice cream cake. Chandler picked it...pink icing and all.
Dinner consisted of Thai food (one of her favorites). Opening family gifts was next on the agenda. She received her first jewlery from Daddy. Cake followed. Did I mention that SHE picked it out.
Following the typical festivities we watched an episode of Hogan's Heros (another of her favorites - her father's daughter), and played with the new gifts. Strawberry land was introduced to some new items and drama. Since there is a short supply of men in SL daddy needed a man to play with. A StarWars character was introduced, given a purple pony with yellow hair (they are all the rage these days), and a hairbrush (don't leave home without it). They then proceeded to fend off the advancing hoard of evil robotic somethings led by Captain Harrison. Mom watched the story unfold with great interest.
Stawberry Land was saved and preparations for bed quickly became the focus. Their beds were then occupied and 1st John was put on for their listening pleasure before dream state took over.
All in All a wonderful day.
