7 years ago

7 years ago this little princess entered my life! What a great gift she has been.

I am amazed that I have a 7 year old!!!! Up until now I have been ok with all of my kids birthdays, but I remember being 7. I remember being in second grade...I remember a lot of it and it scares me that I now have a child that is old enough to remember things happening now far into her adult life.

We celebrated her birthday yesterday and what a day it was. We started the morning at the McDonalds play place for breakfast. The day was then filled with mini golf, roller skating, a special birthday cake, presents, treats and a sleepover with brother and sister that included way too many sweets! I can honestly say that yesterday was a great family day that the kids will remember for a long time. Abby even filled out invitations to give to all of us for her party. The kids LOVED the invites and have carried them around all week feeling so proud that they got an official invite to the party!

Abby had a special cake request. She wanted a purple and pink butterfly cake. So I thought I would give it a try and I was so impressed with how it turned out. Yes, I MADE this cake. No store was involved this was all me and although it was quite a bit of work I had fun making it and hope to do more fun cakes in the future.

This is the kids at their sleepover. They watched Alvin and the Chipmunks and loved it. It was so fun to watch them giggle and have fun together. I love days like these where you can see the brother sister bonds growing stronger.

Happy Birthday to my Little Princess!
