Sadie is Six!

This little girl

doing the happy dance.

She woke up to our traditional birthday morning of her room all decorated and presents awaiting to be opened on the table.  The best way to start your day!

Her friend party was scheduled for another day so we took her to dinner to 

the Pizza Factory and Fat Cats.

Sadie LOVES her baby brother and he ADORES her!! 

She is so motherly toward him and she always wants to hold him.  

 Sadie was so happy to have Nana and Great Grandma come!

One of my favorite things about Sadie is the glow she has on her face when it is her birthday!  

She feels special and it shows!

Sadie is such a pleasant little girl.  She's polite, thoughtful, kind and caring.  She says the funniest things (remember this)!  Her creativity always blows me away!  Just wait til I show you what she made for our show and tell family night!

Sadie LOVES her daddy!  They are so much a like and she is thrilled about that.

We love you Sadie!  Happy Birthday Sweetie!

A Baby Shower...

Cookies & Milk

I threw a boy shower for Jessica who works with me in the Young Womens.

I've seen this darling idea on Most Likely Late blog.

And let me just say that this was the best way to do an open house ward shower!!

Easy.

I just gathered a bunch of clean glass jars and assigned a couple cookies batches to people who offered to help.  

I bought the plastic tongs at the party store for 60 cents each.

I made some labels in photoshop and printed them on Avery Sticker paper.  

These stickers washed off so easily when the party was over!

I've seen people put paper or fabric in the jars to add color and design but I just like the look of the cookie.  Yum!!

I had so many leftover cookies even after I sent plates of them home.

Had I had more time to prepare, I would have bought those cute paper parchment bags with a "Thank You" sticker to send the cookies home in.  

I love these shortbread cookies!

Made with aqua sprinkles.

Water, Milk, Chocolate Milk and Strawberry Milk served in these Glass Milk Jars from Ikea ($3 each).

I put them in the steel bucket with ice.   

I get to do another one in June for another Young Women leader and I can't wait!

I love a good cookie bar.  Yum!
