Our Birthday Girl!


This beautiful, smart, funny, creative, strong gal turned 7!  We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into or how our lives would change when these photos were taken seven years ago:



But this gal has brought so much sunshine and love into our lives.  She makes us think, she makes us laugh and she makes us proud all the time.  I count my lucky stars every day.  I couldn't ask for a better kid!

Cal's birthday was on the last day of school before break.  We opened presents in the morning:



John and Hazey delivered fruit kabob's to her class for a celebration with her classmates:


And then we jumped in the car and drove through a rainstorm after school.  It was a miserable drive, but we arrived to Nana and Grandpa's for a very special birthday dinner with Lynn, Mark, Chris, and the grandparents.





Nana made a great dinner and Cally's favorite carrot cake cupcakes.  More gifts were opened and we even got to exchange Christmas gifts early.
