It's Simply Sensational to Turn Seven

On the eve of their birthday, as I am tucking
them in for the night, I use my melodramatic
voice and solemnly say "this is the last day you
will ever be xx.". It gets a giggle every time.
The next morning, once we have sung the
birthday song, the next question is,
"So, how do you feel? Older? Wiser?". This year
Jenna says " Older, not really but yeah, definitely
wiser. Yes, much wiser."

She was so proud to turn 7. She made sure everyone
she met was aware it was her special day. To top it off,
Grammy and Papa came over that night to enjoy cake
and presents with us.


The birthday loot and her birthday cake.


The mega cake. Not one of my better
culinary experiments. Despite the crazy
huge-ness of it, it was quite tasty!

Making her wish!

She got a real tent for her birthday. Funny as it

is...all of our camping is done in the living room.

Grammy and Papa gave her a skateboard!

Yahoo!!!!!

Can you tell that her front tooth is missing? :)

Another cool gift was her suped up

cake and cookie decorating station.
She made and delivered cakes to

all of our neighbors.

Jenna + chemical experiments=

lots of fun and learning too!

"What are you planning to do?"

"Same thing I do every night."

"What's that, Brain?"

"Time to take over the world!"

Doesn't she look a bit like a mad

scientist here???

Jenna, we love you and hope you

had a wonderful birthday. We are

so proud of the sweet, smart and

funny girl you are becoming.
