Rebekah is 6!

It's a little hard to believe that our beautiful, helpful, sweet Rebekah is 6 years old now!

She was very specific about wanting a pink butterfly cake with cupcakes around the outside of the cake.  So this is what I came up with.  (Kind of funny looking, but Rebekah liked it.)

Trying to play a clapping game with a bunch of six year olds.  It didn't work very well.  The only game that really worked was freeze tag.

 This is the first party we've let Rebekah invite friends to, she was very excited to pick her 5 favorite friends. 

Blowing out the candles

excited getting ready to open gifts

We opened gifts from Nana and Papa and Mom and Dad on her actual birthday.  (The party was the Saturday before.)

LOVED the doll!

Loved the bike!

So happy to play with the doll and her new bike.  

We are so grateful to have Rebekah in our family.  She has been a blessing in our lives.  She has matured a lot over the past year and has become pretty responsible.  Her favorite thing to do in all the world is PLAY.  She likes to play with her siblings and LOVES having a foster sister one year older than her.  She wishes she could just play and play all the time.  She is in first grade this year and is enjoying it, but complains that it is too long and I agree.  (I hate having such young children gone all day.  I wish there was an option to do half day school and half day home school.)  Rebekah is reading well, and learning to add and subtract.  Her favorite song is "Army of Heleman."  Her favorite colors are pink, purple, and red.  We sure love our Bekah Bubbles. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBEKAH!
