may 20th, 2011 was a very special day in this house. on this day, our baby girl adison brooke macdonald turned SEVEN YEARS OLD.... YES 7! and no matter how you look at it or spell it out... that is BIG!
anna woke us up before the alarm went off, bursting into the room with all of the presents that she had wrapped on behalf of all us. new clothes, a new blowup dingy and paddles for our visits to oak lake, a justin bieber dvd and a basket for her bike. all this and it wasn't even 7 am!
after listening to her birthday announcement on the radio...it was off to school. but only for a bit, as nanny jen surprised her and took her out for lunch and shopping for the afternoon. but not before, i could bring her in a birthday balloon and sing happy birthday to her in front of her class... a tradition in our family!
as i waited for the older kids to arrive off of the bus from school, adi arrived back home with nanny jen and a brand new bike to go along with her brand new bike basket! sweet ride!
for dinner daddy made one of our faves... chicken amatriciana and we ate outside on the front porch. then it was off to cheer sissy on at a soccer game. instead of cake we treated the kids to blizzards at dairy queen.
we had already celebrated adi's birthday with the macdonalds on mothers day and she was spoiled as usual with lots of gift cards and money. she has yet to decide what she is going to buy, but she is having fun deciding.
we have planned her "friends" birthday party for a couple of weeks from her birthday... when we know the weather will be warmer. she has decided on an outdoor/campfire theme and we are hoping for clear skies so that we can spend most of the evening outside. 6 of her besties will be coming home off of the bus, cooking supper over the campfire and doing some fun outdoor crafts/games.
happy 7th birthay foofie. we love you so much!
