7 Years Old

Wow... I can't believe I have a 7 year old!!! Yesterday was Hallee's 7th  birthday, and she had a great day. I made her a horse cake- that was her request for this year, she wanted it black and white, but I couldn't get the frosting to go that color, so instead it was a tan color- but she was happy with it. In the morning we had a birthday party for her, with some of her friends from school and from the neighborhood. We played some waterballoon games, had sack races, played hot potato, hide and go seek, tag, and had a treasure hunt! Hallee got some fun gifts! Later in the day we went to McDonald's- of course that was her choice and they got a happy meal, which is real treat for them! Then we rented the movie, "Rio" to watch that night. She has had so much fun playing with all her presents, most of her gifts were the crafty/art stuff, which she loves.
Hallee is a great girl, she loves going to school- she is doing great with her reading, math, and writing, she loves to write- her handwriting is very pretty and neat. Hallee loves to catch bugs, especially grasshopers and butterflies. So for her birthday she got a bug cage, and my parents gave her a butterfly cage- we sent in for some catepillars- so that she can watch them change. Hallee is a good helper around the house- folding laundry, taking out the garbage, and cleaning her room. Blyss and her are best buds and great sisters to each other. Hallee is getting to be a bit more patient and will play a little with Sicaly know. We love her and glad she was sent to our family 7 years ago.

Opening presents from Mom and Dad

All of her "goods"- what a lucky girl!

Later this week on the 15th, our little Sicaly will be 18 months- I can't believe she is growing up so fast. She has seemed to grow up so much faster than my other 2, she walked really early- and since then, she has figured stuff out, she thinks she is as big as her sisters and wants to do everything they do- she is a smart little girl. She is definaltey fun, but she keeps me very busy!

She wanted to get in on the opening presents excitment!

Sicaly is definatley girl- she loves hair accerories and necklaces!

My sweet little Blyss has started her 2nd year of preschool- this year me and three other moms are doing a preschool, and we take turns teaching. But here she is on her first day. It just hit me that next year she will go to kindergarten, and it made me so sad- I like having her home, she loves to help and is a great sister to Sicaly.
