O's Birthday Weekend

O turned 7 on Saturday.  I can't believe she is so old!  She is such a loving, sweet, sensitive kid.  She doesn't ask for much so when she does ask I am more than happy to give it to her.  So for breakfast she wanted strawberry french toast (yes there are strawberries under that whipped cream).  Right after we ate we had to run to her friends baptism, which she felt was all part of the party day.  Seriously she is so easy to please. 

 

For her only big present she got a new bike, that she needed really badly.  She had gotten so big for her old bike that when she was riding it, it looked like she was in circus circus as a clown on a miniature bike.  This one looks almost too big, but they grow so fast.  

That night instead of throwing a big party which I have done for the last 6 years (I wanted to give all the friends Mom's a break)! We let her choose from the Dinosaur museum, Build a Bear, or Color Me Mine.  She has had her eye on this ceramic dolphin (that serves no purpose and just collects dust on a shelf before a younger sister inevitably breaks it) forever.  We usually make her paint something she can actually use like a bowl or bank, but it was her Birthday and she got to do whatever she wanted.  As you can tell she was pretty excited.  Seb and I had to hold our selves back from helping with the painting. Below is Seb giving Fefe a little artistic help.  We will see how they turn out.  Half the fun is picking them up after they have been cooked.  

I didn't want to buy anything for the baby to paint, because really?  So she painted the coke machine with water and loved it.  Then she started in on my face.  It was such a perfect day for a perfect kid.  Happy Birthday Olie!!!
