Jane is 6

Or, turned six in September. It's been a while, but I didn't want it to go undocumented...

Here's Jane with her poster from her Kindergarten class. She LOVED this. They obviously asked her great questions because everything they wrote down was absolutely accurate!


The morning of her birthday, I don't know what she liked more: her treasure hunt with presents in obscure places, or the actual presents!


She'd been begging for a Rapunzel cake. This was the best I could do. It was fun, but stressful to decide how to do it. I ended up copying it almost exactly off of a blog I found. Someday she'll realize I am not creative... what will I do then?


Jeff took a half day and we went to the city pool, one of Jane's favorite activities. We swam for hours. It was a fun and tiring afternoon. Jane was in heaven!


The week after her birthday, our big 6 year old performed in her first violin recital with her new teacher. Jack had a small accident with some scissors while making a birthday present for Jane that didn't allow him to participate, so she was the big star of the night. She did GREAT!





We only got these two pictures, because we videoed the actual performance. Wish we could do both at once!

What a doll she is! We love Miss Jane. Will you be posting the video of her violin recital? I bet she did great! I love the present hiding idea. Did you write her clues? Might have to use that one to stretch out the birthday fun a few extra minutes!

I love the Rapunzel cake! I don't care if you copied it from a blog. It's amazing that you got it to stand up!!! It's adorable.
