Happy 7th Birthday!

Seven, really?!  I don't know where the time has gone.  My beautiful baby girl is growing up.  We started the day with donuts and Lego Friends cookies.  Then we headed to church.  After that we did a video call with Nanny & Pa and then went out for Mexican food with G&G.     
Due to an unfortunate attitude problem, we cancelled Tessa's birthday party this year.  It was almost as hard on me as it was on her.  I love planning parties.  But, like any good consequence, we saw a dramatic improvement so it was definitely the right thing to do.  And just because there was no party, doesn't mean there were no presents.  She is just glowing with excitement looking at her packages. 
That's my sweet Tessa!  It's hard growing up, I'm glad my girl is still sweet most of the time. 
This may be our biggest Lego Friends set yet!  Tessa plays with her Legos for hours at a time.  I think they might be the best toy ever invented. 
Yet another sign our baby is growing up, she got her own computer as a present from us.  She loves the idea that she can work on her computer while I work on mine. 
Daddy is showing her all the websites we preprogrammed it with.  Plus he loaded a bunch of our pictures onto her computer.  She loves pictures almost as much as I do.
And then it was time for cake.  They decorated the cake to look like a road for one of Tessa's Lego cars.  Pretty cool. 
 Her BFF came over to share cake with us and Tessa was so happy. 
As of right now, Tessa still wants to be a painter at Disney World when she grows up.  Her favorite toys are her Lego Friends and her princess dolls.  She is a fantastic swimmer and she loves to read.  Chapter books are some of her favorite gifts.  And she is a fabulous big sister.  Happy Birthday Baby!  Yes, I still call her "Baby" even though she's my older child and obviously growing up.  She will always be my baby.
