Sydney wanted a pinkish-purpleish bike for her birthday. Thankfully I found one that perfectly fit. Complete with streamers, a bag, and a horn and the name "Misty" painted on the side. She LOVES her new misty bike. It is a little bit big for her so she has a hard time stopping as she is riding but she is doing very good with it!
She also got a horse calendar, and a watch....both things she really really wanted!
A birthday would not be complete with out a stufffed animal of some sort. Sydney loves stuffed animals and when I saw this purple unicorn I knew she would love it! Sydney's Aunt Sarah also sent her a little puppy house that had 5 stuffed puppies in them. These fast became some of her favorite toys and they get played with everyday!
She also had a small friend party. She loved having her friends over and doing crafts with them. This balloon decorating kit was by far the most popular craft. It was less than 4 dollars at Walmart and the kids loved it!
Sydney was determined to have fondant on her birthday cake(I blame cake boss). I am sure that she wanted some big elaborate cake like she has seen on Cake Boss but there was no way that was going to happen. I found a recipe for marshmallow fondant and it actually turned out pretty easy to make! We made an ice cream cone cake and Sydney loved it. (please no funny comments about the cake. I am in no way a fancy cake maker!)
For her birthday dinner we went to Red Robin. The last time we went to Red Robin was for my birthday and my sisters told the waiter that it was my birthday and they came out and sang to me. Well as we were eating Sydney leaned over to me and said,"Mom, I want the red robin cheerleaders to come over and sing to me." It took me a minute to figure out that she wanted the waiters to come out and sing happy birthday to her. I told our waiter that it was Sydney's birthday and she wanted the cheerleaders to sing to her. He laughed and came back five minutes later with about 10 waiters and waitresses and a huge ice cream sundae. Sydney was so excited! I wish I had brought my camera to dinner to capture her face at the moment, it was priceless!
We came home and ate the fondant cake, and then went to bed. It was a fun fun day!!

Sydney does not want to be a mommy when she grows up. She wants to grow up and be my big girl girlfriend. When I asked her what she means she said. We will always be together. We can share the same clothes, and sleep in the same bed. We can go do fun things together and we will never be apart. She even goes around calling me "girlfriend" instead of "mom" most of the time. It is super cute. I hope she always wants to be my girlfriend!!!
