Happy 7th Birthday to Lena!
We celebrated Lena turning SEVEN with family and friends and BARBIE! Lots of Barbie's and her friends showed up and the girls had fun playing with some new gifts and accessories that they brought along. Thank you to big sis, Laila, for getting them all settled in to the party!
I made my first Barbie cake which was fun! We had pineapple cupcakes and Lena's favorite, again, made homemade by big sis - Chocolate Chip Cookies! I'm raising the next generation of party planners. ;)
We had Uncle Craig come in from Atlanta and Uncle David and Jill (Barbie and Ken) came too! Lena loves seeing and spending time with her family the most. She always says the best part of having parties is spending it with her family and the people she loves most - she really is the sweetest.
We had a lot of fun with the
Barbie and Ken wigs! Even Daddy makes a pretty handsome Ken!:)
I think Lena enjoyed her day! She got to go shopping at Target and then had a fancy lunch with mom and dad at her favorite spot - Olive Garden. She also went with grandma and Uncle Craig to get her nails done and they matched her Barbie themed party perfectly with Barbie silhouettes and all. Lena and Laila both played with the new Barbie's all evening and all of the next day and even added in some that they already had. Who doesn't love themselves some Barbie Town? Barbie is a classic who just gets better with time. Some of my best memories as a kid was playing with Barbie's. My favorite Christmas morning memory is when my grandpa put together my new Barbie house for me which back then was not nearly as cool as the houses now but it was everything to me! I'm still amazed at all of the new Barbie accessories and play sets that they come out with. Lena even got a Barbie with a dog that has puppies! What will they think of next?
Lena, we love you beyond all of the words in the world. And we're so proud of the smart and kind, little lady you're becoming. You make me laugh and cry happy tears more than anyone. We sure were magnificently blessed the day you were born.
