I can't believe my baby turned six!

Unbelievable! My baby isn't a baby anymore. Time goes by way to fast. I was feeling a little sad that she has grown up so fast. I think that's why I took WAY too many pictures. I didn't post them all because that would take too long.

Shayna wanted a Unicorn party this year. It was all kind of last minute so I couldn't find anything Unicorn. Thank goodness the Easter Bunny brought Shay a Unicorn figurine. We used that as a place marker for the Birthday girl to sit at the table. I had to get creative and anyone who knows me knows how scary that can be. I made a horse cake that I found on family fun and used a spiral sucker as the horn. Usually I have help from Tyler since he is the artistic one but this year he had to work so I was on my own when it came to decorating the cake. I decided not to post a close up picture of the cake....it just wasn't that great. Shayna and her friends loved it though and that made me feel better.

Shayna also wanted a Unicorn Pinata. Did you know that nobody in this State carries Unicorn pinatas. Yes I could have ordered one online, but again....last minute. I found a horse pinata and again stuck a spiral sucker (the spiral suckers were a scavenger hunt of its own) in the head for the Unicorn horn.

I felt terrible about the lack of friends that showed up to the party. It was spring break weekend and everyone was out of town. My fault...I should have known. We won't make that mistake next year. The two girls that did show up had a lot of fun and everyone got extra prizes and TONS of candy from the pinata.

Shayna helped me decorate for the party. She had all kinds of ideas to make it look magical.


Yep, the decorations look great.....she thinks so anyway!

The first thing we did when the girls arrived was play pin the tail on the donkey. I wanted pin the horn on the Unicorn but.....ya know, whatever.



Shayna got the closest so she won a magical unicorn horn (a spiral sucker)

Then we opened presents.



Shay got some really neat things. Out of all of the pictures I took you would think I would have pictures of everything. I don't so I will list it here. Just so she can read about it in the future.

Glitter Girls Hair and makeup kit, Home made telescope with crayons to decorate and a BFF sign all from Ashlyn (the other blond), Poly pockets from Leah (the dark haired girl), cup cake maker refills, water shoes, swimsuit and swimsuit cover, lots of gum and a moxy girl doll head that she can do hair and makeup on all from Grandma and Grandpa Turner and Uncle Shane. Roller skates from Tyler and I, A porcelain tea set (very, very cute) from Grandma and Grandpa Carver, 3D bubble blowing kit (when you wear the 3D glasses you can see hearts on the bubbles...very cool) princess wand and princess crown from Aunt Mary and Family.

Thank you to everyone. She definitely got spoiled!

Then of course it was cake and ice cream time. You can laugh at the cake if you would like, it certainly makes me giggle.......at least I tried.




For the grand finale we did the pinata. I converted it to a pull string pinata so there would be no bats and total destruction involved. It turned out great. A very girly thing to do. Of course this was the only time Britton would come up stairs. He waited until the candy dropped then rushed in for some.


The girls were each given a party bag. The bags included a slinky, hairbrush and makeup kit, a mini Unicorn horn (small spiral sucker) and the candy they got from the Pinata. The party really did turn out well considering. Shay had fun and that's my biggest concern.

When all was said and done Shay wanted to do my makeup with her new makeup kit......how could I resist?


Shayna, this is a very special day for your Dad and I too, it means we have you! Thank you for being such a wonderful Daughter. We love you VERY much! Happy Birthday beautiful girl!!
