My baby girl has turned 7, and I cannot believe it! Where has the time gone?
Her birthday was actually in the middle of February, but with Valentine’s Day and other craziness, we weren’t able to have Kaitlyn’s “friend” party until last weekend. It was well worth the wait.
We went with a Hannah Montana/pamper theme. For the goodie bags we put nailpolish, nail file, hair curlers, makeup, and some other randomness. We painted fingernails/toenails, put on tons of makeup and slept in rollers so they could all have curly hair in the morning.
But, the highlight of it all?
Hearing my baby girl read her birthday cards with very little assistance.
Definitely a Finer Thing in life.

You are so right. Your children sharpening their reading skills is definitely a finer thing in life!

Don’t you just love that?! My son is 7 and it’s so amazing to hear him just randomly read things when we’re driving or on the tv or when he’s reading a chapter book!
Happy Belated Birthday to her!

Happy Birthday to your little girl! It sounds like her birthday party was so much fun. I know when my oldest son started reading without assistance, I was so proud of him. And very emotional. They do grow up very fast.

What a fun party! I would have a blast with this, but I think the boys in my house would have to stay elsewhere for the night. My husband would not deal well…
