Happy Birthday Princess!

Sarah turned 7 on November 28th. SEVEN! That's almost 8, which is half of 16, which is only two years younger than 18. YIKES! (okay, I only partially freak out when my kids get older, I'm not completely crazy)

For Sarah's birthday she decided to have a sleepover with some of her friends. She loves the new Disney Brave movie, so that was the chosen theme. She knew exactly what she wanted for her party. We needed to have an archery contest, pin the tail on Angus and our friend/neighbor Yvonne that is from Scotland needed to come and teach the kids about Scotland. She would wear her Brave costume, we'd eat pizza, cake and stay up way too late. Lucky for all involved, that just about sums up her party.

Presents

We've had a fun tradition while we've been here of doing the xbox kinect with Lillian and Malcolm during the kids parties.  



We used trick candles, and it was hilarious. She kept trying and trying to no avail. We ended up getting a cup of water to put them in.

The girls decided to put marker on each others faces as make up. Good thing it was washable. 


The next morning it was time to clean up. I took care of most of the house, but we told Sarah to clean up her own room. It wasn't even very dirty. She said she was too tired and burst into tears, so Mike thought of a better idea. They would take a nap. He's the best dad in the world. 


Having Sarah as a daughter is such a blessing. She's helpful around the house, a great big sister, sweet, kind, loving, smart, funny and most importantly, ours. :) Happy Birthday Princess!

Some things about Sarah:
- She is in first grade and her teacher is Amy Youngblood and her assistant is Miss Judy.
- She loves horses and has been taking lessons.
- She loves to read and her favorite series are the Rainbow Fairies, Junie B. Jones, Magic Treehouse and A to Z mysteries.
- She has been learning to play the piano but has been w/o a teacher for a couple months. (I've been a poor substitute since I don't play myself)
- She likes to draw and has her own art blog. www.princesssarahsart.blogspot.com
- She is a great big sister.

(I'll add to the list with her dad later)
