Birthday girl is 7!

  We are getting close to the end of birthday season in our family. MA turned 7! We are constantly amazed at the person she is becoming. Generous, kind, laid back, & almost always willing to help out. She got the extra treat of having the fam here to help her celebrate. MA got her ears pierced as soon as the mall opened. She had been going back and forth for a while on whether she wanted them pierced or not. Finally she decided she wanted to do it while Grandma, K&K were here. So we did a special girls trip that morning.

 Swimming during the day then we ate dinner on the patio.  Birthday dinner was steak, potatoes on the grill, and broccoli. She didn't want any vegetables :-) Chocolate cake with sprinkles on top, a big pile of presents from friends and family (here and in the US) & she was one lucky birthday girl. A camera, Legos, a color it yourself backpack, & some new clothes were a few of the highlights.Such a change from a normally winter birthday.
