Good morning, Laney!!! It's your birthday! You're seven years old! Wait...why is it so dark? It's Saturday and we should be sleeping in. You should snuggle down in your covers and take advantage of every second of sleep you have. That would be a great way to start off a birthday. If you were 40. Which you are not. You still need 33 years to appreciate how precious a gift sleep truly is.
But for now you are up and ready to turn 7!
It's friend year! Everyone gets to have a real honest-to-goodness party with friends and games and cake and presents.
Which means my friends get to go help pick up doggy poop so the kiddies don't get an extra gift to take home on the bottom of their shoes.
That's true blue, right there.
When all the kids arrived, we started out with some silly games to get everybody laughing and having a fun time.
The tissue box ping pong ball game:
Musical hula hoop smash:
Megan made an excellent dj:
And everybody's favorite....the no-hands donut munch.
And just to make sure everyone had PLENTY of sugar before we sent them home, we decorated cupcakes!
And opened presents. I loved knowing that she was feeling like the center of attention. That's pretty rare in a family of eight.
Later that night we celebrated as a family with her favorite dinner of apple pork chops, cous cous and cornbread.
She loves to ham it up while we sing 'Happy Birthday'.
And blow out the candles!!
I think she likes her presents. She doesn't have a future as a poker player, but she may have a real talent for theater!
Happy Birthday, Laneybug! We love you so much!
