Stella is 6!

Yesterday was Stella's 6th birthday. She was SO excited!!! She had a great day and loved all the phone calls, cards, and gifts! It took her forever to fall asleep the night before her birthday b/c she was so excited! :) I really thought she would sleep in.....yeah, right! She was up before 7AM ready to go!!!
Birthday girl! Ready to tear into her gifts....sporting her "bed head"!!! With her "light up shoes", the only thing she asked for for her birthday. They are ALL the rage in her kindergarten class!! Grandma and Grandpa got her these, was so STOKED!!!!!
With the necklace Grandma and Grandpa gave her, it has her name on it and a few charms hanging from it.
She had 10 friends at her party. We hired a magician to perform at the party. He was a really nice guy, a high school student from Ames (go Cyclones!). The girls (and Porter) loved his act! Here is one of Stella's friends helping with a trick.
A shot of most of the girls at the party.

Porter enjoying the show!
Singing Stella "Happy Birthday", she is a donut freak, so instead of a cake or cupcakes, she wanted glazed donuts. :)
Opening gifts from her friends. This was pretty funny to watch, the kids were very into the gift opening!
After the party was over, Stella opened her presents from mom and dad. She received a lot of great spring/summer clothes and a gift card to Auntie Ann's Pretzels (her favorite thing!). We had to go to the mall today to use part of her gift card. :)
