7 and 1/2 years old!

I know that Cheshire is rolling her eyes and swearing that we are spoiling Julia rotten, but, but, but . . . I figure Julia deserves a few extra birthday cakes and a few extra presents because she missed the first five occasions of her birth. Besides, she is just understanding why all the fuss.
As I walked into the living room with the cake, Julia joined in our singing.
She could not blow out candles on her sixth birthday cake. Now, no trouble at all.
And so proud of herself.
We bought her the little pet shop play house much like that pet town that daddy had promised her last winter when they started working on ABC's together. When she finished learning with Daddy, David asked if they should go out and get the pet town. She said, no thanks.
Excitement is beyod belief. She has been thanking us for her cake and gift since last night.

Happy half birthday, Julia!

We sort of celebrate those at our house. Valerie & Kevin's birthdays are six months apart and Jaden and Dad's birthdays are six months apart. We celebrate the actual birthday person but give big acknowledgements to the one celebrating their half birthday.

It looked like a great celebration!

What a sweet little girl!! And to be so thankful and so happy....to be truly happy like that. That is how it should be for all children :-) It's funny, my daughter Delaney (6yrs) just asked me if we "could please please make carrot cake." She and my son just love to help me in the kitchen.
