Maya Is 6! – Birthday Celebration

Ok, now my sweet little Maya is 6 years old.  I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed.  She is a blessing, funny, sweet, smart, kind, and sometimes a pain in the butt, but we adore her and are so delighted to be celebrating the day of Maya.

Breakfast doughnuts.

Cupcakes for her school celebration.  We bought the cupcakes from the store (the school prefers store-bought cupcakes), but we added our own special touches – pink sprinkles, pearl sprinkles, and Minnie Mouse ears!

The birthday girl had free dress at school today in honor of her birthday.

Hanging out with a couple of mermaids.  The rainbow version is part of her birthday gift from Aunt Sara, Uncle Mario and Nene.  The Ariel was part of her Christmas present from Aunt Elizabeth, Uncle Kenny and Cecily.

Becoming a mermaid herself – she had NO idea she was getting a mermaid tail today!

Wrapping up with dinner at Tecate.

Happy birthday, Maya!

Maya Is 6! – Family Party

I can’t believe my big girl is almost 6!  We had a celebration at the house this evening with Sami’s side of the family and a menu picked by Maya – pizza (cheese for her, please) and a cake.  Pink, of course.  And a castle, because of course it should be a castle!

Preparing for Ballet

I swear she wasn’t punished or standing in the corner.  She was just excited to be going into ballet class.

Everyday Superhero Day

Maya’s school had everyday superhero day today.  The students dressed as whatever everyday superhero they wanted – I saw teachers, doctors, nurses, firemen, policemen, soldiers, and more (including the art teacher).  Oddly, I didn’t see anyone I identified as a lawyer.  I can’t imagine why.

Maya chose to be a veterinarian, which possibly may have been as much about bringing her stuffed animal to school as being a vet.  But she was very excited about it.  We borrowed a lab coat from Nene, and Aunt Sara made a nametag for Maya, both awesome.

Meet Maya Rahman, DVM.

I have no idea.
