Do all parents say this every birthday or is it just me, but I'm going to say it again...
My BABY is 7!? Where does the time go? How does this happen?
We did family birthdays this year. I got this idea from a brilliant woman that I steal lots of ideas from. You can see Amy here at Finding the Balance. I can't believe how much fun the girls have had having a simple family birthday. Makes me wonder who we do all the other stuff for... food for thought for myself!!
She wanted a Peacock or as she previously called them "PeaHock" birthday. As popular as peacock things are right now, I was surprised to have trouble finding things.
Anywho, she got to celebrate for 3 days straight!
Aunt Sara mailed this and it was a HIT!
Check out her peacock feathers daddy was able to get from an awesome neighbor.
First, we celebrated with my parents and grandparents. We swam, went out to eat, and generally just had a great time.
We had a little celebration the next morning with daddy as he had been planting corn the night before.
Claire was SO excited to give Livie her gift. She wrapped it and everything.
It was adorable!!
We were then off to Wichita. Daddy had to put on anhydrous, and later met us Here at
Build A Bear!! We have never done this due to Claire's allergies, but Grandma Connie had given the girls gift certificates, and we decided this was the perfect time to use them.
I truly wish Claire weren't allergic to dust mites because it is super fun!
Meet Max the dog, which is also what Livie wants to name the baby.
Her response, "Just like my sistor's" so cute!
They did choose the same animal, but Claire's is a girl named Bell, of course.
The next day we celebrated again with Grandpa and Grandma Connie! See I told you, she celebrated for 3 days straight!
Happy Birthday, Livie Kaye!
You are beautiful, responsible, and a true hoarder just like your mother was.
You LOVE nature, exploring, crafts, and creating things all the time.
You also love reading, especially non-fiction animal books.
Black is Black and White is White and I dare anyone to tell you differently!
We love you to the moon and back a million times over.
How did I miss this post earlier?! You are so sweet. If you only knew how much inspiration I get from YOU! I think you are an amazing wife, mommy, teacher and friend. I only wish I still saw your face in person so that I could steal more ideas from you! :)
ReplyDeleteEvery other year parties are still one of my favorite things. Did you see my post about my birthday where Lawson erased our chalkboard banner with his birthday message and wrote one for me? So sweet. :)
Thinking of you so often lately and sending long distance hugs to you!
