Happy 9th Birthday, Sydney!
She woke up to donuts and some special cards, and then we prepared and waited all day until the American Girl Tea Party at 5:00.
Jackson got all dressed up and served us as the butler. 
We served mini peanut butter muffins, cheese & crackers, veggies, fruit kabobs, mini pbj sandwiches and mini egg-salad sandwiches.
Finally, we sang happy birthday to Sydney before she blew out the candles on her "tarts". Chris joined Jackson as another butler! 
After eating, we watched Sydney open her gifts. Her friends were all so sweet and thoughtful in what they got her. 
Next, the girls went on a treasure hunt, looking all around the house for clues to the prize. They ended up in the basement where they found "movie treats"! While we popped our popcorn, they played with their dolls or they challenged each other to air hockey. 
Finally, it was time for the Felicity movie. 
We all had such a great time with all these girls. I'm thankful that Sydney has such sweet friends. I am also thankful for such a sweet daughter. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past nine years. What a gift she has been.

That is such a neat and creative idea! Jackson looks so grown up and handsome in his suit! Happy Birthday Sydney!
That is great! I loved Jackson the Butler - perfect! Nine years...wow. I remember that day so clearly. I'll never forget "Sylvester"! I still think of Syd whenever I see a hippo even though I never continued that one!
