Happy Seventh Birthday, Zoë!

She was so excited for her Birthday Party on Saturday. And, she had LOADS of fun with her friends ("One from each category, Mom: church, school and neighborhood"). She was also rather good about not being too bossy. She was VERY kind to let her friends play with her new toys (a game, and some Littlest Pet Shop), and she was also sweet to let Megan play with them all day on Sunday.

She woke up wanting to open just one present, but was eager to come home from church and open the rest. She loved everything she got!
Yes, even the cards (digital or mailed). She's already been thinking of Thank You notes to send out... (so, although I'm very delinquent and oft times forgetful, at least I'm teaching some good habits to my daughters).

I will post pictures of her fun Birthday Party, of her Birthday Cakes (you already saw the Ladybug cake I made for the party, but I made another one for the family on her official birthDAY).

It seems so long ago that she was a little tiny baby.
And looking back at her pictures I can see snatches

of the amazing girl she's become, but I can also see glimpses of the beautiful woman she will someday be.

Happy Birthday, my little Sweet Pea. I love you, Zoë!
