Jenna is 6!!!

I cannot believe Jenna is 6 years old!  Where does the time go!?  We love her SOOO much! We are so happy that she is our oldest.  She acts the part well. She is very sweet to Ivy and Tanner and very helpful to me and Andrew.  She has been maturing a lot and learning, and wanting to do things on her own lately like, helping to fold and put away laundry occasionally, putting the silverware away, and sometimes, if I am feeding Tanner, she will make she and Ivy sandwiches for lunch! She's wonderful. She is also incredibly smart!  She is learning to read and enjoys coming up with math problems and solving them.  She likes to ask questions and wants to know how things work.  She is very creative and imaginative.  She loves to draw and do art.  She like to show us everything she is proud of and loves to receive praise.  She is a good sport about things.  She likes going to the mountains, playing pretend, doing art projects, and school. Her birthday was on a Sunday this year, so on Saturday night we went to Texas Roadhouse because she had a free kids meal coupon.  She also got to sit on a saddle and got a free dish of ice cream which she so sweetly shared with Ivy.  On Sunday, we went to church, she participated in the Primary program and did great! At home, she opened her first present, and Origami book and pad of paper.  She and Andrew made like 13 things during the afternoon.  Then she told me a story using all of her origami she made.  She wanted to help me decorate her cake, so I let her use food coloring to make it the color she wanted, then we iced the cake and sprinkled sprinkles.  She wanted a barbie cake but it kept sinking, so we stuck the barbie in for a picture, then washed her off for Jenna to play with. We had Jenna's choice for dinner which was pancakes, bacon, and strawberry syrup.  Then the Hughes clan came over for cake, ice cream, and presents.  And on Tuesday we went to Classic Fun Center! The girls and Andrew had a lot of fun in the bounce houses!
