Lindsey’s 7!

I still can’t believe my oldest turned 7 on Friday! It just seems like yesterday she was born. And I remember that day and will never forget it either.

She was induced (I had preeclampsia) on the 17th at 7am, and she wasn’t born until the 18th at 1:17 in the morning! I was so exhausted, but overcome with joy and love at the same time!

On Friday, I decided that I would make her day special. She wanted cookies to pass out to her friends at school for a special snack. Then I picked her up early from school and we went to Pizza Hut for the buffet lunch (one of our favorite places to eat lunch). We had a nice time chatting and laughing while we stuffed our faces with salad, breadsticks, pizza, and dessert pizza.  

Then she asked if we could go into Old Navy and do some shopping….a girl after my own heart! She picked out a few shirts and I picked up a couple of things for myself too. Then we went to I-Party to get the rest of her party things and then headed home to stuff her goody bags.

Lindsey wanted Friendly’s for dinner so we met Darryl there and had a nice dinner. The staff sang a cute little song to her, and she was so embarrassed while she ate her candy shoppe sundae. We came home and she opened a few presents. We told her she had to wait until Saturday for the rest.

She invited 6 girls to join her at You're Fired which is a paint your own pottery place. They had a blast painting, laughing, opening presents, and stuffing their faces with chocolate and pink frosting cupcakes (thank you Danielle!). It was so cute to listen to them talk while they worked.

Lindsey chose a cupcake jewelry box..and so did 5 other girls.

Everyone is smiling but the birthday girl, how did that happen?

When Lindsey and I got home, Darryl had decorated the house with Hayleigh with streamers and balloons (thanks hun!). Family was coming over for dinner, presents, and we ate more of those delicious cupcakes and had ice-cream.

She told me this was the best birthday ever! Priceless! I love you Lindsey, you will always be my little princess! xox
