Turning 5 is a big deal in our house. Isla was supposed to have a big bash to celebrate turning 5 in 2020 but we were still in the midst of a Covid-lockdown so we told her 5 1/2 would be her big birthday. Well, Covid was still very much a thing (and my precious Grandma Joyce passed away the day day before) so we just did a small thing with our besties. But it was still a thing which meant a big something to Isla. Then 6 came and she got her ears pierced in lieu of a party. There is this magical time 6 months after you get your ears pierced when you get to FINALLY change your earrings. As you can imagine, Isla, our extravagant accessorizer, has been counting down the days until this new-earring-every-day-thing became her reality. So 6.5 became a thing. Which was today which was insane for a 1/2 birthday.
First prize goes to my dad who made a 6 1/2 birthday card for her and gave her $6.5 and a present for her and her brothers because how would you explain this madness to anyone under the age of 40?
Any way- there were decorations, an after-breakfast dessert, her best friends, a cake with 6.5 candles, her favorite dinner another birthday cake, 4 earring-changes and a mess!
Happy birthday little lady. You make life fascinating, fun and colorful. I will celebrate you every chance I get! 😘
