For Sydney's 6th birthday party, she wanted a Palace Pets birthday party. It took a bit of creativity on my part to pull it together, but we worked it out. She also got to invite six people. It just so happened that three of her cousins were in town that weekend. What better friends to invite to your birthday party than your cousins?
| I think I met Sydney's vision for the cake. |
| The girls had different stations including getting nails painted and makeup done. Grandma Hanks, Grandma Swensen, and Aunt Janna all helped! |
| Each of the girls was taking care of one of Sydney's Palace Pets for the afternoon. Here are Sydney and Abbi, one of her BFFs from school. |
| Cousin Madison and Sydney. |
| Sydney and her friend, McKartney. |
| Sydney's BFF and cousin, Lydia. |
| Cousin Audrey and Sydney. |
| Amelia and Sydney. |
| Cake time! |
| I love Sydney's genuine smile. |
| Tippy-toe hugs for Lydia! |
| Just what she wanted: a Pikachu stuffy (she ended up with two since Wes got her one also)! |
| All of the girls (and Pikachu, of course). |
| Sydney was nice to let her friends help her color her bag that she got as a present. I was proud of her for sharing! |
