What being 7 looks like!!!! (And taking a break for the summer :)

Faith's birthday party was on Saturday the day before her birthday and I am working on putting all the photos together into a slide show. As soon as I have it together I will post it. On Sunday, her actual birthday, she was invited to a friend's birthday tea party. We had a quiet little family celebration that morning and she opened her gifts from us.
Here she is Birthday morning eating strawberries dipped in powdered sugar.

They were suppose to dress in their Sunday best for the tea party. I let Faith pick out what she wanted to wear................

and I thought she looked awfully cute!!!!

7 YEARS OLD!!!

I still can't believe it!!!!!!

Funny, when all the girls arrived all of the hats and scarves were thrown right on the chair....

They had little tables set up for tea and it was very cute. I am not comfortable posting other peoples children on here, but I will post the one below because it is blurred and I really wanted to show how happy Faith was. I was a little unsure how she would feel or react attending a birthday party on her own Birthday. I didn't know if she would feel a little envious with it being her day too. Well, I should have known better.....she could care less! She was entirely focused on it being her friends party and was so very happy for her. Here they are singing Happy Birthday and she was just beaming for her friend.

We were suppose to go to another friends party that evening at Chucke Cheese, but I could see she was completely worn out from her busy Birthday week-end.

We have 3 more days of school and then they will be out for 2 months! They go back August 12th so I know the summer is going to go by quickly! I am so looking forward to all that summer has to bring.....lazy days spent by our pool, play dates, movies, Six Flags (we bought season passes) vacation Bible school, bike rides, a couple trips, swim lessons, library, evening walks, staying up late and lazy mornings, and just enjoying the feel and the sound of the house with the kids home with me. Reed turns 13 this month and I will have 2 teenagers! I know my days are numbered with them wanting to be around Mom (it is already starting with Dean). So I will soak in all I can this summer of enjoying these days.
I am taking a summer break from blogging so that I can do this. The computer takes up so much time and I need a break. I do plan on spending lots of time with my camera though so hopefully I will have lots of summer photos to show you.
Wishing everyone a fabulous summer!!!!
