I just love those big brown eyes, and that sweet smile. And she really is a sweetheart. Always looking out for everyone, taking care of her younger siblings, thoughtful and kind.
Always lots of fun for everyone to see what is under the wrapping paper.
Of course, our resident cake boss stepped in and created Amelia's self-designed cake, complete with flowers, her initials and a number 6, as well as the snowflake dancers from The Nutcracker - on a stage. (Try tying all of those things together.) Shawn was working with a new medium this time - fondant instead of the typical frosting. I think it opens up all sorts of design possibilities.
In true Stringham fashion, we only had about 15 or 20 minutes to celebrate. She very quickly had to unwrap her presents, blow out her candles, eat cake and ice-cream, and then we were off to Samantha's school play. Fortunately, it was enough for her.

And with a little assistance from Shawn, the candles are out.
I just can't believe how quickly she has gone from this:

Nice Cake! What a fun time it is to be 6 years old. Your baby is getting big, fast!!! Glad to see everyone is well!
WOW - I'm just impressed you got the b-day post up when the b-day actually happened, plus the awesome cake - way to go! My poor 6-year old is still waiting patiently for her party and I haven't done a b-day post yet. BAD mom!!
My kids have decided that they want Shawn to make their birthday cakes too.
