Annika's Birthday - the BIG 6!

Yahoo! Annika is now officially six! Yes - I am six months late posting this. :) We started off her birthday with the traditional birthday breakfast doughnut - her choice of course! This year she chose a most magical rainbow doughnut. :)

As soon as the doughnut was gobbled down it was time for opening presents. She got some super fun stuff this year geared towards science.

A super spiffy microscope that hooks up to the tv. You can see all kinds of things with this thing. And she got some fun science experiment kits, books, and a doctor kit so that she could take care of her "pets."

After getting ready for the day we headed down to Build A Bear. This was the one thing that Annika absolutely wanted to do for her birthday. She couldn't understand why she couldn't invite her whole class to come. :) Considering how much we spent on just three little girls I can't fathom how people do it for a group of 15.

Annika picked out a little "Peace" Bear. We couldn't sway her from
this one - not sure why she picked it, but she loves it.

Mieka and Emma choose the Rudolph. It's nose lights up and says some
sayings when you squeeze it's ear. Super cute.

Amazing all the little accessories that you can get for these dolls.
Mieka ended up getting roller skates for hers. :)

Later in the afternoon we headed over to Monkey Island with all of the Southern cousins. It's a bounce house place like Kangaroo Zoo, but a bit smaller. Made it much easier to corral all the kids into one area. It also had a few carnival type games and rides.

They had so many kids packed on to this little carousel I
thought for sure it would break. :(

To cool off we had ice cream. I think we overwhelmed the ice cream lady - we had a lot of ice cream cone orders.
To end the day back at home we had a little birthday cake from Annika's favorite bakery - Dippidee's. A super exciting and fun birthday for a super exciting and fun girl!
