Birthday Girl

Elizabeth turned seven a few days after we returned from our vacation.  Like Emily, her celebration seems to extend over a month long period. She received gifts from family while we were at the beach; she received gifts from us on the actual day, and then we saved up the rest of her presents for the weekend, when we had cake with Peter and Lisa.

Cinnamon buns for breakfast on her birthday.  I totally stole this idea from Janet - but, in my defense, Elizabeth loves cinnamon buns and I wanted to do something special for her because we knew that it would be almost a week before we had her birthday cake.

A watch from Mommy and Daddy. 

And the biggest gift of all - an armoire for all of her American Girl clothes.  We've been hiding this in the basement for months, after I found it on a one day sale at AG for a ridiculously good price. 

She was as excited about the hangers as she was about the armoire.

The little things make our girl happy.
