Elizabeth

Elizabeth is such a sweet girl. She has a natural ability to take care of her baby brother that is amazing to me. She is also very enthusiastic and loves life in general. I cannot believe she is seven already! She is growing up way too quickly. We had so many cute pictures of her from her 7th birthday and other times that I thought an Elizabeth blog post was in order.

Elizabeth's cupcake-themed birthday party was so cute. I think I had just as much fun with it as the girls did! They made cupcake cards and bags, played freeze dance and twister, decorated their own cupcakes, and generally had fun being hyper.

Elizabeth received perfect gifts for a 7-year-old girl: a glitter ball, diary, porcelain tea set, a game, and a movie. From us she received a new bike that she got to pick out.

Emma spent her own money to help buy Elizabeth a "sequin purse" she was hoping for at Kohl's. These close moments of sisterhood make it all worth it. :'-)

The craft table

The day before her party, Elizabeth had her first real haircut. She had wanted to grow her hair out forever, but it was getting to difficult to brush through each day. She was not happy going into it, but loved the way she looked at the end!

For the 100th day of school, Elizabeth was assigned to make a poster of 100 of something. Borrowing the idea from a box of Kix, she glued 100 pieces of Kix cereal onto a drawing of an ear of corn. It turned out pretty cute.
