Happy Birthday Lexi!

We just celebrated Lexi's 7th birthday! My, how time flies! We didn't get the cake frosted until she was home from school which suited her just fine......don't worry, Kyson and Kendri still managed to get their fair share of licks too! Every time I turned my back someone had a finger in the frosting. I had to banish them from the kitchen so I could finish the cake! We decided this year would be a family party. It was very low-key but Lexi didn't complain at all. She picked tacos for her birthday dinner and was happy to wait until after everyone had showers before starting the party. The main thing she wanted was an easy-bake oven so here it is!

The birthday party guests.......

and the turtle cake! Lexi drew out what she wanted and I put it on the cake. She pointed out to me that there are "7" hearts on the the turtle. I thought that was very clever of her.

We had a great party and Lexi is lucky enough to have another tomorrow at Gammi's house. All of her Reese cousins will be there. Who could ask for more?

Some things about Lexi.......Right now Lexi is in Girl Scouts. She just had softball tryouts today. She is not sure she will like it but because she is already enrolled she's going to find out for sure! (Meaning the next few months could be "fun"!) She is very social and loves to play with her friends. She is an awesome big sister......she is always willing to help Kyson and always includes Kendri when she has friends over. Lexi loves to read and play "school". She is very concientious of pleasing others. She really, really wants her ears pierced and does not feel that showers are completely necessary. She will do anything I ask her to do but also has a bit of stubborness to her. We love her and the dyanmics she brings to our family! Happy Birthday Lexi!
