Beatrice Turns 6

Here's a recap from Beatrice's recent Birthday. To start off the festivities, we went as a family to Rochester for Birthday Sushi and then Beatrice got her ears pierced. (So, technically, Maggie and Bee both got their ears pierced at 5 years old.)

Here's the before picture. Suave and calm. But as the equipment came out and the paperwork was signed, she got a little bit nervous. And when the two ladies crowded in on her, a gun in each hand, she tightened up all of her muscles, but it was over quickly. She said, "Ow. Ow. Ow. Owwwwwwww!!!" and then teared up. : )

Here's the after pictures. We got Coldstone Creamery ice cream to distract from the stinging ears. That and the blue lollipop worked like a charm.

Look at those red little lobes! She picked out pale purple earrings - the June birth stone, but who really cares about that at 6 years old??

Then on Bee's actual Birthday we celebrated in a traditional Valentine's Day way. Heart shaped Blueberry Pancakes. You can see here that they were hard to resist.

We held Bee's Birthday Party two days later. Grandma and Grandpa Supan came in town for the week so they were there to celebrate and we also invited our friends, the Freids to come enjoy the evening with us. We grilled hamburgers! Grilled! In the middle of February!! And no one froze to death! Awesome. Then we had presents and cake.

While I managed to take pictures of the cake, I didn't take pictures of anything else. So you'll have to take my word for it that Beatrice got exactly what she wanted for her birthday gifts and that it was a great evening.

Happy Birthday, Beatrice! Have an excellent 6th year. : )
