My Bee has turned 6!

First, here is Maya wearing all her clothes that she got from her Gammie for her birthday to school on her birthday day.

Maya has caught on to the theme birthday parties and chose to do a hula/surf party.  It turned out great.  We were lucky that she chose the theme while we were in the states and were able to get quite a few decorations and party favors while we were there.

She had 9 of her friends invited, 4 new ones and 5 older ones.  Anika, Josephine, Jules, Ian, Joyahna, Peio, Lena, Elise, and Manon.  They had a great time.  We started with a craft making sun visors, which was a hit.  Then did a limbo, a little karaoke, pin the nose on Elmo, pass the parcel, open her present (which were very thoughtful), and then cake, which the kids even thought was amazing!

After, we invited the parent for a small cocktail party, while the kids played in and outside.

Sneak Peak

Ok, so here is a sneak peak at this year birthday cake creation!!! 

Halloween II

We are lucky this year, we will get to wear her Draculaura costume 3 times.  It was so worth all the work to make the skirt!!!  She loves wearing it! Plus, we are starting to nail the makeup.  I am having as much fun as her.

So her is Halloween II, being celebrated with Openhouse.

As usual, vacation time!

So, we are on vacation this evening until all saints day on November 1st.  To start the vacation, Maya school had a Halloween party, and it was great, but super hot.  So, mommy broke out her sewing machine and made her costume.  She wasn't allowed to be any sort of princess or fairy, so I told her that she needed to choose a monster; she chose Draculaura from Monster High.  Well, with some help from Gammie for the socks, bought hat and shoes, mommy modified and old furry vest, and made the skirt.  Here is what we came up with:

We had to carve a pumpkin:

Here is our morning makeup preparation:

Seems Maya has a little boyfriend, but can totally not remember his name.  They were so cute.  Running around from game to game holding hands.:

Here is Maya's posse:
