7th Birthday Party

We had her birthday party at the roller rink.  The kids were pretty cute making their first few rounds at the rink completely glued to the wall.   

Chloes proclaimed favorite gift of the day came from Josiah.  He'd remembered last year when she got the jellyfish I'd crocheted for her.  So he knew that she liked stuffed sea animals.  He was absolutely right. 

 Chloe is never super excited while we sing "Happy Birthday". She still says she wants us to sing it to her, but she acts like she would rather dissapear.  Natrually, she brightens right up after the attention is off of her and she gets to eat her cake.

After her party at the roller rink, she got to bring her friend Kylee with her to our family Birthday party, too.  We sang to Aunt Susie, and Erik, too. 

The night before her birthday party, Abby and I gave Chloe her birthday present from us.  A T-shirt clue- it was pink with little pictures of Mickey and Minnie on it (the shirt she is wearing in the mothers day pictures).  She stared at the shirt for a few minutes before a not-so-well hidden grin came across her face.  She figured it out!!  We are taking her to Disneyland for her first time ever!!  I also made this calendar we gave to her so she could track her month of May until our vacation.  Pictures and stories from the trip to come in the next blog book.  Through the days of May, she was diligent about marking them off to see how close to our trip we were getting.  She was pretty excited.
