Her brothers guided her around finding picture clues for her birthday present scavenger hunt (this was mostly for Ben's sake, but Amanda was happy to follow along).
She found her presents, and though still a bit sleepy, was super excited to open them. It was nice that she was so happy with one toy, some band-aides, bubbles, goldfish crackers, and a dress and flip flops. She's still young and relatively easy to please.
It was too difficult to schedule our traditional family birthday party with everyone's conflicting schedules and the 4th of July weekend, so Paul and Ben planned and hosted a "rainbow and heart" birthday party for her and her few friends and youngest cousins on a week day morning.
What was intended to be a small, casual party, turned out to be quite the event when Justin constructed a make-shift zip line towards the end of the party. None of the kids were wanting to leave the party!
We also celebrated during a 4th of July party that Austin and Keely hosted. Keely and her boys made Amanda a birthday cake and the extended family that was at the party sang to her.
