Daines: Our Family: Kenlee's 7th Birthday

7? Really? Where did that time go? Every birthday for this little cutie seems to leave me in disbelief. I love the little lady that she is becoming. She is sweet and helpful. I can count on her to be my big helper as I juggle things with the other kids. I know that she will be an awesome helper when Baby Bean arrives.

This year was a fun first for Kenlee. She had her birthday while in school! School started 2 days before her birthday but she still got the chance to celebrate her birthday at school. Her teacher this year sends home a bag for her to put things she loves in. Kenlee loved filling the bag to show her class! We also had to quickly fill out a All about Me paper for Kenlee and send it back to be used on her birthday. This helpful little paper is how I found out that Kenlee was hoping for Jelly Beans for her birthday, something she hadn't really told anyone. Man was I lucky.

Jordyn, Tytan and I hit the store and found 7 Kenlee items for her 7th birthday, including Jelly Beans! We picked out an Aggie shirt, bermuda shorts, jelly beans, starburt minis, "kid lipstick", gel pens and a glitter notebook. It was so fun and Jordyn was really into coming up with the ideas for the gifts.

This years theme was school. We decorated in all the colors of a crayon box. Her cake was a little crayon box too. Kenlee was thrilled. I always love waiting to see what she is going to come up with for her birthday theme, she is always so creative!

A few days before her actual birthday we took her out for her birthday dinner. She picked Pizza Pie Cafe this year which everyone loves. We had such a great time! Kenlee loves the salad bar and on our way back to the table a lady stopped us just amazed at her plate of veggies, especially the broccoli. She just came that way, always eating her veggies!

We had a lot of family come for Kenlee's birthday this year. It was so fun to have a full house and 6 little kiddos running around playing. It was definitely loud and busy but so so much fun!

Grandma Tuke spoiled Kenlee with fun school supplies. Kenlee was so excited, she actually told me a week before that she was worried that because school started before her birthday that she might not get any school supplies... What a girl!

Grandma and Poppa got her a pet salon Friends lego set. She had looked at this set several times and was very excited.

Karlee, Colton and Livi know our girl so well. An artbox set! She can't wait til she gets a chance to play with it all.

Grammie and Poppy gave Kenlee this adorable Minnie shirt and her first pet. She received her first beta fish in an adorable Finding Dory tank. Because of its deep blue color she named her Dory.
