Seven, take 2

Now there are two seven year olds in the house.

And this is the first birthday that we have gotten to spend with Allee.

I believe it was also her first birthday party ever.

Being six brought many challenges and changes for Allee.  Sweet girl.  I hope that seven is more relaxing.

Allee is smart and incredibly accepting.  She tries to be a family girl almost all the time, and is mostly easy to get along with.

And she has gorgeous black hair.  Her face lights up every time I tell her that I always wanted black hair.

Allee's birthday picks....

Chocolate cake

Snack artist chips

Orange and vanilla ice cream

Orange soda

Marshmallow cereal

Hamburgers

We are so lucky to have you in our family, Allee.  Love you!

Seven, take 1

My baby is seven.

He may not be the "baby" of the family any longer, but as the youngest child I have given birth to, he will forever be MY baby.

The best thing about this guy, is his ability to get along with everyone.  And his whistling.  Always whistling.  And it always makes me smile.

Colton's birthday picks....

Lemon cake

Cookies and Cream ice cream

Snack Artist cheese puffs and "Doritos"

Cream Soda

Powdered Donuts

Chicken-n-dumplings

And the highlights of the birthday gifts....marshmallow shooters, real cowboy boots and a real cowboy hat, and a "new to him" camera handed down from his big sister.  (The kid is seriously good at photography.)

Love you so much Coles!
