a happy birthday

we recently celebrated sierra's 7th birthday. we celebrated as a family on her big day.

 s scoping out the gifts.

 s standing in front of her Happy Birthday poster.

 me reading her card from Grandma Leslie.

 s reading her card from Grandma and Grandpa Roberts.

 s and w with the frame w gave her. the picture is of the two of them in a high uinta lake!

 s opening her gift from Emily and Jason.

 it's a super cool stomp rocket!
 

 s with her gift from grandma and grandpa Roberts. it's a big box full of special craft project stuff.

 this is perfect for a girl like the big s!

 s excited to see her new room. her big gift from me and b was an updated bedroom. note the bedspread--it has owls and flowers on it. that's from grandma leslie.

 s got a new big-girl desk with cool picture frames, desk organizing stuff, a light, and a bright green chair!


 s with her bday cake. it's a bit busy, but it's a cherry cake (pink) with deer antlers, a moose footprint, a fish, and the ocean waves on it. all her ideas!


 

 making a wish!

 licking the frosting off the big 7 candle.

 
the next week, s had her friend party. we had a pizza dinner in the backyard and then went to the new (super cool) rec center pool with three of her good friends. it was so fun--really. we all went and swam, went down the slides (there are four of them) and enjoyed the lazy river.
 
then we came home for s to open her presents and for everyone to eat birthday cookies that tasted like brownies. yes, they were that good.

I can't wait to see Sierra's room! She is so good at making the perfect face to express her delight.

Thanks for posting these pics of this special time. Sierra's growing up so quickly.

She designed a great cake. I would like her to design my next cake, for whatever occasion that might be. I always think a moose hoof-print is a nice touch.
