Sarah's 7th Birthday!

Sarah turned 7!  Yippie!  Well she turned 7 a couple months ago, but I'm reliving the past! 

 

The dress she is wearing was a gift from Grandma - it's all she asked for - a dress with horses on it!  Way to go Grandma, she loves the dress! 

 

Sarah has discovered how to search for images on Google,

so she designed her own birthday cake this year. 

I believe this was her third choice only because Brandon's store can't make a cake out of fondant icing!  But the cake looked great and Caleb was generous enough to let us use his farm animals for decorations!

Great Grandma Lill, Sarah & me

 

The BIG birthday gift from Brandon & me. .  a monkey bar addition to her swing set! 

 

But of course, that wasn't enough of an addition. . . so Brandon extended the swing area and added this other swing "thingy" . . not sure what it's really called, but you can swing & twist on it.  Sarah seemed to enjoy it! 

 

Even though it was a very hot day, the kids all enjoyed playing outside on the improved swing set. . well for about 30 minutes anyway - it was hot!

Caleb even got to enjoy the new monkey bars thanks to a little help from Uncle Jason!

 

Then Uncle Jason got to play too - I just wasn't fast enough with the camera!

 

After such a wonderful birthday party, we always need a follow up birthday party on our actual birthdate!  So we had a little leftover cake and a few more gifts to stretch out the excitement!  After all you only turn 7 once!

 

Happy Birthday, Sarah!  We love you!
