First, can I say, WOWZA! Cannot believe that my baby girl is 7 yrs old! Time is just going by too quickly. It really is. Sometimes it feels like these precious years are just slipping through my fingers. But, at the same time, it's so fun to see them growing up and experiencing new things. Sigh. If only they could be my babies forever.
Anyway, because Livie is having her very first FRIEND party this coming Saturday, we decided to just make it a low-key birthday for her. There were no decorations. No donuts for breakfast, but there would be presents and there would be cake! She was up bright and early and already excited. She slept with me that night and when she woke up, she turned to me and said, "I'm 7 today!". So sweet.
Her birthday played out into two sections. The first section was her presents. After lunch we gathered the family into the living room and let her open her presents from us and her Trolinger side of the family.
She got lots of great things - legos, bracelet-making kit, funny animals, etc...
She ripped through them pretty quickly as her excitement grew!
Can you tell she's happy?? ;-)
She thought this present from Trevor and Ty was hiliarious and fun! It made all sorts of weird noises. Pretty funny.
After all the presents were opened, she played with them while her brother, sister, and cousin Trevor created box armor. I mean, why not, right?
We got her some glittery nail polish, so Aunt Jill painted her nails with her.
While Uncle Adam checked out Noah's armor. All that armor is now in my house. He worked so hard on it, he didn't want to throw it away. Oh goody.
The second half of her birthday came after the Schutz family left and her Aunt Francy got off work. I wasn't going to make a cake, because of the party this weekend, but Francy works at the bakery at Marsh, so for her birthday present, she made her a cake. Pretty stinkin' awesome, huh?! Right up Livie's alley!
She loved it! Can you tell?
We ordered some Pizza King pizza and ate up, before heading out to the dining room for some yummy cake. Pete lit the candles while we sang.
She blew them out and concluded her fun 7th birthday. Now that we're home, we're gearing up to have 16 kids running around our house this Saturday. Last Thursday was just a prelude..
