Leah's 6th Birthday

Leah celebrated her 6th birthday while we were on vacation in St. George. She had a fun-filled day! We started out by having a girls shopping trip at the Outlet Stores. Before we left, Katie gave her a crown, a rose sucker, and made her a rose ring!



Aunt Katie's present was to pay for Leah to have her first manicure!
When she saw Katie getting her acrylic nails Leah commented, "I want THOSE kind!"
Ha ha ha! It was funny! Maybe one day she'll be getting acrylic nails for her birthday--when she's OLDER!

Me and my mom enjoyed getting pedicures
while Leah and Katie were getting their nails worked on

Leah got to pick out her birthday outfit from Nanny. She tried on a bunch of skirts and picked one out based on how well it "twirled". She also got to pick out the present from mom and dad. She had been asking for a duck pillow pet. I couldn't find one at any stores, so Leah decided that a ladybug bean bag chair would be the next best thing.
The thing Leah wanted to do most for her birthday was to go swimming. So, we went to the Sand Hollow Aquatic Center and she was able to show everyone how she's able to go off the diving board and how she dives into the deep water. They also had a fun water slide and a great kids area for them to play at.
It cracks me up that Caleb's feet aren't even touching the diving board!

We went out for Leah's birthday dinner at The Brick Oven.



Then...we had cake and ice cream!
I feel quite guilty that Leah's cake wasn't made by mommy,
so maybe one day I'll have to make her another one.
Buying a cake from the grocery store was just easier being on vacation and all.

Happy Birthday Leah!!

Happy birthday to Leah! Wow, can you believe our babies are 6?!! Insane! Your trip looks so fun, and totally like something my kids would love. That indoor pool place looks amazing! And I love all the details you shared about the opera house and the other places you went. It sounds like you had an awesome vacation!
