Today sweet Libby turned 7 and I think she had a great birthday. She told me that it was her best birthday ever. :-) I woke her up by singing Happy Birthday to her this morning. It was sort of business as usual as she got ready for school and had her breakfast but after breakfast I gave her a little gift to open...some lip gloss (which is always a huge hit with Libby!). We went to school and I volunteered and at recess (which is just before lunch) we went outside and took the cupcakes that we brought and her whole class sang Happy Birthday to her and they all shared her birthday cupcakes. After school she wanted to play at the park for a little while so we did that since it was her day to decide our schedule. After the park she was ready to come home and play with her Barbie Dreamhouse so that is what we did. Ryan got home at about 4:30 - just as I was putting the finishing touches on Libby's cake. We ate dinner (cheese pizza - per Libby's request) and then had cake and ice cream. When we were finished eating it was time for Libby to open her gifts. She opened a couple of gifts that had been sent to her and then she started opening the gifts from me and Ryan. We were very evil in the way that we planned this. I got her the art easel and art supplies (paint, painting pad, paint brushes, dry erase markers for the dry erase board that is on one side of her art easel and colored chalk for the chalkboard on the other side of her art easel). Well, I wrapped all the supplies separately and brought all of that downstairs for her to open but when she came downstairs for dinner I went upstairs and moved the art easel from my bedroom (where it was being hidden) in to her room. So she opened all of her presents downstairs and she was a very good sport about receiving erasers and having no idea why she was getting them. So, she opened the chalk, paint, paint brushes, art pad, etc, and I told her that we were all finished and we should go up in to her room and start painting/drawing, etc. She was excited about that so I ran upstairs ahead of her and she walked in to her room and saw her biggest present sitting there waiting her her! :-) She unwrapped the easel and started jumping up and down and gave me a giant bear hug. :-) She was very happy (and a lot less confused about the random dry erase markers, chalk, and erasers!) :-) I've posted some pictures to flickr but they are all out of order. I know that I should have organized them but it's late, I'm beat, and I just really wanted to get them posted so that I can go to bed! :-) Once you click on the link the pictures from school are obviously the first ones taken today and then after those five pictures then just go to page 2 and work your way back to page 1. The pictures from tonight are on flickr exactly in reverse order from how they were taken so if you start at page 2 and work your way back to page 1 then you'll see the pictures in the order that she opened things, etc. :-) Sorry about the mess but at least they are out there! :-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/14165538@N05/ Let me know if you have any trouble with the flickr pictures! Take care and good night!
