7 Years Old


 Little Rachel turned 7! I can hardly believe this little one is already 7.  She is just 33 pounds. Rachel is easy to please on her birthday because she LOVES birthdays. This year, we brought treats to her class. John came this year. Rachel, jumped onto John's lap, patted his belly, and announced, "This is my Dad, Santa Claus."



 In the evening, I made her dinner request of cream of broccoli soup in bread bowls, which she surprised me and ate. Then we opened her presents. I bought her presents well ahead of time and Anya had already told Rachel what they were. I think Rachel was still happy. For dessert we had pie, which Rachel did not eat and I was not surprised.
On their birthdays, I let the kids stay up and hang out with me a while. Rachel requested painting. We ended her day with some painting. Rachel painted a picture of Merida
 Rachel's birthday was over, but the celebration was not. Two days later on Friday, Rachel had a birthday party with her friends from school. She had a ton of fun, and since I kept the party to one hour, I survived a house full of 6 and 7 year olds.We made crowns, decorated cupcakes, played pin the crown on the bear, and went on a bear hunt. Success!
