This year instead of a party for Sydney I let her invite 2 friends to go do something fun with. She chose roller skating and cupcakes! So we got Kaiya and Jesamyn and went. Sydney and Kaiya were glued to the wall the whole time....except at the end when they finally got the hang of it. Then we went to the cupcake shop, went back to the house and opened gifts and then to Red Robin for her birthday dinner.
On her actually birthday we were in Washington for 48 hours and she got to see all her Grandparents! We had a great Thanksgiving and quick visit with Family.
We gave Sydney some money to go shopping with this year because all she wanted was cloths!
