My first born, Kambria Adison turned 7 on feb 10th. I still am SO shocked it's unreal.... She is growing up too fast... right before my eyes. She is in such a rush to grow up, & "get big"... as I am sure all little girls her age are.. When she was turning 6, there was a joke Josh & I would play on her, we would tell her the Birthday Fairy wasn't going to let her turn 6, that she was going to stay 5 forever... SO this year, when she was going to be turning 7.. I told her... remember your still 5 though?...
She didn't think that was very funny.. then went to tell me there was no Birthday Fairy.
Kambria is in first grade, and she is loving her teacher, and school. Which is a huge plus, and makes me feel happy inside :) She has a good group of little friends, and it's so cute to see them play together.
So on her actual birthday, my tradition for her is for her to wake up with a room full of balloons... She LOVES it... So of course, she got that... Then we took donuts for her class for breakfast, & made cookies for the afternoon..
Here she is in class :) then her teacher took her upfront and we all sang Happy Birthday to me... she was soooooooooooo shy it was cute!! :)
& that evening we had a family birthday dinner/cake for her & did family gifts... last year at her birthday party it was too crazy to do all the friend gifts, and all family gifts..
This year worked out great I might add.
She was having a Justin Bieber party, so I wrapped her gift in Justin colors :-)
my first attempt at making a 2 layer cake... so dont judge me. & the candles are kinda sideways...
she also wanted marshmallows in it, and around it.. :) so birthday girl got it.
kambria is loving these little "lalaloopsy" toys/dolls lately... & they are adorable....(*i like playing with them too*) I like to call them "lalapaloopsy" :) I didnt know I was saying it wrong, until her grammie told me... oh well.. ha! we thought it was pretty funny.
Friday night she scored on the lalapaloops's ........................&& she loved every minute of it.
It was literally like Christmas all over again for her... I can't even begin to post all the pictures.
....her big gift from us was............
A BIKE..... her other bike was getting too small, & the dogs chewed the seat off so I wouldnt say it was very comfy to ride... PLUS this one has gears... & will be better for off-road biking.. which Josh loves to do with her.
It was a great Birthday Day for her... & we all enjoyed watching her.
Saturday: Party Day!!!!!
Just a few pictures of some of the set up.
I think it turned out great.... :)
We had pizza, cake, ice cream... Played dancing games, played outside, did gifts... & she invited all the girls for a sleep over after...
:) which.... was a blast for us all.
We had a tea party, did nails & hair, made a band, watched movies, etc. Poor hubby was out numbered... by ALOT... but he was such a champ through it all.
Happy 7th Birthday, Kambria... I love you more than words can say... <3 I am so very thankful for you, and that you are mine. I am proud to call you daughter, & proud that I am your mom. My job is to guide you through life, and be there through everything, teaching you the right from the wrong... & how to grow up to be the best young lady that you WILL BE.
