Sydney Turns 7!!

Sydney Belle. A treasured gift to our family, a joy for a daughter, an amazing sister, humble, compassionate, empathetic, smart, creative, silly, inquisitive, nosy, rule-follower, kind - a little girl wise beyond her years who tends to carry the weight of the world around her on her shoulders. A worrier by nature, but still with the ability to be carefree and have fun. I cannot believe how blessed I am to be her mom. Seven years come and gone. I miss the little baby, toddler, preschooler she was, but am loving the little girl she is becoming. Happy Birthday Sweet Girl. We love you!!

Day of Celebration...

Our tradition of donuts for breakfast on your birthday. Sydney and Daddy headed out early on the morning of the 21st to get donuts for the family.

 An impromptu park playdate with Nouvelle, one of Sydney's best friends. I am so thankful for their friendship.

 Slurpees after the park! It was hot!!

 Opening presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house after dinner out at an Italian restaurant. Sydney requested pizza and she got it!

Having Great Grandma Haugen in Colorado on Sydney's birthday was an extra special treat. Grandma's 90th birthday was the day before Sydney's 7th, so we had a fun combined celebration.
