MJ is 6!

So, since I finished the 30 day challenge, I've been a very bad blogger. Actually, I've just been a very busy blogger. In addition to the usual December craziness, MJ turned 6 years old, so there was a birthday party to plan.

This is pretty funny because she tends to be friends with boys, and we all know boys' opinions of princess parties. They were very good sports, though, and we tried to include activities they would all enjoy, even though there was a princess theme. Here are a few pictures from the big day...
