Celebrating Six!

Holly's birthday has came and went but not without a little celebration!   Unfortunately, Ronnie had to go TDY to Davis-Monthan and left the weekend before Holly's birthday.  But no worries, we celebrated properly before he got out of town.

To kick off the festivities, Ronnie and I took some time off of work last Friday.  From some of my travel and tourism sites, I found that the St. Petersburg State Ballet was coming to Seoul and putting on Cinderella on Ice.  Score!   Holly loves ballet, Cinderella and figure skating! And it was worth every penny.  Holly was mesmerized by the performance.  Sarah learned that if you act up, you leave the theatre and they don't let you back in until intermission.  We chose the matinee so the odds of having more children than adults would work in our favor (and it did).   All in all, a fabulous time was had by all!

The next day we dropped Ronnie off at the airport.  The girls and I bummed around Seoul and piddled our way back home.  Sunday we headed to Splish 'N Splash with the Haugh family.  The girls had a great time running around with Skylar. 

Tuesday finally came and we started our morning with our birthday tradition - a cupcake for breakfast.  Funny thing how traditions come about...  this one was started because we didn't like the fact that Holly would have to wait until late at night to have cake on her first birthday.  Much better to wear off the sugar buzz during the day. 

Holly decided she wanted to have her birthday party at the bowling alley with a few of her friends.  She was overly excited when I agreed; apparently, it is "THE" place to have a party.  We had a great time dodging the rain and playing inside for a few hours. The girls were worn out by the time we got home.  I tried to keep up with our other tradition of getting a special kiss and hug right at the moment of birth, but by 8:15 EST/9:15 local, Holly was passed out cold.
