Rian turns 7 before our very eyes!!



Rian's birthday celebration at school- everyone sang to her (including Ms. Hall) and then Rian passed out popsicles for her treat.

Rian had been wanting this Fur Real puppy that you could "really take for a walk" for a year and was thrilled to finally own it.

Birthdays (and holidays in general) tend to be a little anxiety-producing at our house!

Joan came over to help celebrate (Arlen was out of town) and gave her a really neat purse to color, money and an outfit.

Enjoying the possiblities of her gift.

Tye-dye birthday cake.

Happy Birthday Boo Bear!

 

Rian spent an afternoon with her BFF Jasmine and we went out for gelato, to the park, and then back to our house for a playdate.

Of course, Hayden needed Sarah to come along too!

Jasmine gave Rian a matching Hello Kitty shirt and they had a lot of fun dressing like twins.

Instead of having a kid party, Rian wanted to spend the weekend at a hotel with just our family.  We stayed at the Denver Grand Hyatt and had fun swimming, eating out, and walking around 16th St. Mall downtown.

The girls, of course, just wanted to play "hotel" while at the hotel.  Some things never get old!
