:: seven ::

My sweet little girl turned SEVEN yesterday!  How is this possible?  Wasn't she just a little 6 lb 12 oz baby that I snuggled in my arms?  Strains of 'Sunrise, Sunset' are running through my mind.

Sweet Hannah wanted a Pinkalicious party.  This was my favorite party to plan by far.  I scoured the internet for ideas as well as free printables and I was pretty successful in this regard.  Unfortunately Party City only sells Pinkalicious supplies online which was nice to know when I arrived at the store one week before the party.  So we improvised.  And it turned out beautifully in my personal opinion.  Hannah loved it & her little guests had fun so I guess that's all that matters!

Thankfully there were two other boys so Sammy wasn't completely overwhelmed by pink.  And girls.

New Years Eve we decided to let the kids stay up and watch the ball drop.  Sammy was so close but didn't make it.  Hannah on the other hand was clued to to tv while clutching her glass of Sparkling Grape Juice.  She was very confused as to what kind of ball was "dropping" and why so many people were going to be watching it!

 

 --Food-- 

strawberry wafers, maraschino cherries and strawberry marshmallows dipped in vanilla almond bark then in pink sprinkles.  This picture does not to them justice b/c they were beautiful.  (If I might toot my own horn.)

--Gifts included--

 a Bible, a unicorn Cuddle-Up-It, a Rapunzel game for the Wii, lots of Disney Princess make-up and bath sets, two Pinkalicious books and plenty of money to go on a shopping spree...
