Dezmarie turns 6 in Japan!

Dezmarie turned 6 while we were here in Japan, and let me tell you she will never forget this birthday!

Her Birthday fell on a Friday this year, her class had a field trip planned for that day so we started her birthday celebration on a Thursday!

I made the class some homemade chocolate chip cupcakes and chocolate milk! Dezmarie was so happy when she saw that grandpa and I had brought the class some special treats!

 On her actual birthday she went on a class field trip to the butterfly museum in Hiroshima. I wanted to go but unfortunately, I had to stay home with her baby brother who was sick from his four month shots. 

She said that the spiders and some other insects were too dangerous to touch!

(Thank you Niki for the pictures from the Field trip)

Mom, dad, brother and grandpa surprised Dezmarie after school with a small ice cream cake and a new movie she wanted to see, Hunger games: Catching fire!

She was super lucky to have papa (grandpa) come all the way from California to celebrate her birthday!

 The fun didn't end there! This was her first birthday with her new baby brother. I knew she might be feeling a little left out and I wanted to make this year super special for her. So the weekend following her birthday was all about her!

She loves Miyajima Island and Grandpa wanted to go exploring, so we went to see the deer at the island!

Of course where ever we go she must have her ice cream! My silly girl. 

Waiting on the train to head back home, mommy loves her big girl! 

Her birthday party was that Sunday and ... well ... I didn't get many pictures of the party! She was going crazy with all her friends and was having too much fun to take pictures.

I absolutely LOVED her cake, thank you again Niki for making Dezmarie's birthday cake. It looked fantastic and it was DELICIOUS!

All the kids loved the cake, and all wanted a piece of the rainbow. 

Dezmarie hit the JACKPOT! She couldn't wait to come home and open her presents!

She loved them all, thank you all so much!

I must say this year was memorable! A field trip to the butterfly museum,  a family trip to Miyajim island and a big party at the bowling alley with all her friends... what more could a six year old ask for? Thank you again to all who came, we are so thankful and blessed to have met such amazing people while here in Japan!
