Rebecca's 7th birthday

How is it possible that I blinked and this little baby

has all the sudden become this beautiful 7 year old girl???


She really is 7 going on 17.  She blows me away with her bursting personality.  She is so fun.  She is in 1st grade now and is such a little smarty pants!  She is an excellent reader and writer.  The main thing she struggles with at school is time management, because she loves to add lots of detail to any picture that she draws.  She is obsessed with stuffed animals and is on a mission to collect every webkins or build a bear that has ever been made.  She is very social and has a good group of girl friends.  She has also started taking gymnastics this year and is loving that.

She requested breakfast in bed for her birthday, and we were happy to oblige.  She was able to choose between inviting one friend for a party where we'd go someplace (i.e. spend $$) or spread the $ out with inviting lots of people and have a party here at home.  $ talks to this girl, even though the total would have been the same, but she chose to invite her friend, Charlotte and we went to Build a Bear to make a friend, then ate lunch at the mall before coming home for cake and ice cream and presents.  It was easier for me than doing a big party with tons of friends, so I was totally ok with her choice.  

It was a very fun birthday, and we are so happy she joined our family 7 quick years ago!
