And then she was {7}.

My second born is now 7!!

We started her day off by surprising her with a new birthday outfit from head to toe to wear to school!   

That evening we had a small family celebration for her which included gifts from her grandparents and her siblings:) 

We ended her birthday with a vegan "cake" so we can all celebrate together since I'm extremely sensitive to making sure G always gets included:)

A couple days later she got a MUCH bigger birthday bash with all her gal pals!  I couldn't find any ready made "pajama party" themed invites so I made my own, I got many compliments, maybe I should go into business;) 

We surprised her again with ANOTHER cake (G refused to come to this party since it was at "a girl place", he's such a boy and I love it!). 

The venue is super cute, they only do girly parties so you can imagine all the pink and fluff in this place:)  Little R chose a "pajama party" themed shindig so all the girls got their nails painted, makeup applied and they even got to choose a fun hair accessory and get their hair done.  It was crazy but man did these girls love every second of it, even Baby R thoroughly loved all her pampering:)

The girls did a fashion show, this was fun!

Lots of goofing around:)

You can't have a pajama party without karaoke!

Finally, cake time!

And to end the party, a group photo!  The venue took a photo as well and at the end passed out a group photo to all the girls, it was super cute:)

And, the day after her party, her favorite Aunt sent her a gift card to Build-A-Bear so we finished up her birthday week with creating a new friend to love:)

Happy Birthday Little R!
