Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Samantha received a huge stack of presents at her party! That’s what happens when you invite all the girls in the grade! I was so proud of her for getting all of her thank you notes done in only 1 week! Great job, Samantha.
Here she is the day after her birthday heading to school in her new shirt and new headband!
She also did a nice job polishing off the rest of the cookie dough by that weekend too!
My shiny, sparkly SEVEN year old!
We invited all of the girls in 1st grade and I think we had about 35 girls come to the party. They were all pretty excited dressed up in their neon and white ready to glow and dance! We had face paint, hula hoops, tons of balloons, and an awesome DJ! It was perfect!
We had chicken fingers, fries and fruit for the girls and then also had a full ice cream sundae bar and cupcakes!
There was a surprising amount of drama and tears from a few of the girls! Who knew that much drama would come from 6 and 7 year olds? Know who didn’t have any drama? These two!!
The old men at the Redstone dinner down the hall were quite entertained by us all too! ha!
It was a fantastic party and I know this little girl had the MOST fun!!
I sure do love celebrating Samantha and her BFF!!
Best party ever!!
When you and your BFF turn 7 one day apart, you throw an epic glow dance party for the entire first grade! The MOST fun!
Frances’s mom and I planned it for a few weeks and booked a DJ, glow lights, and spent the day decorating the club!
Pop it and Ring Pop favors were ready to go!
We got the girls matching outfits and they were as cute as cute can be!
Love these sweet, happy girls!
We were all ready for the guests to arrive! Let’s party!!
Samantha woke up on Thursday morning as a 7 year old! Well, she actually climbed into my bed about 3:30 am as a 7 year old but that was fine with me. 🙂 She was very concerned that I had not decorated downstairs since I didn’t get up early. Thankfully I had decorated the night before! As if I wouldn’t decorate the kitchen for my only baby girl’s birthday?!
She was off to school for a great day!
She took “GJ’s chocolate chip cookies” for her class.
She helped me make them the day before…
Don’t worry, we made two batches of dough – one for her to eat and one for the class! She said the cookies were good but not the best. Why? They were missing a “sprinkle of GJ.” Love that girl. And I can’t argue with that! That afternoon she came running home happy – can’t beat it!
She headed off to tumble and that night we headed to dinner at the club to celebrate our birthday girl!
Dinner at the club is even more fun when one of your besties is there to celebrate her sister’s birthday which is on the same day!
After dinner we headed back home for presents and ice cream cake!
Make a wish!!
Happy 7th birthday to my favorite little girl!!
We had a great day celebrating…
Love this SEVEN year old! Have a great weekend!
