My sweet baby girl turned seven on March 22!  We started off the morning with her usual opening a presents tradition. She decided this year she's going to protect her stuff from little brothers and sisters as several items were replacemnt gifts from previous years!  When we found out our church was doing a magic show the night of her birthday,  I had a crazy idea! We decided to let her invite her whole first grade to her birthday party at the gospel magic show!  She had 15 or more friends show up and all stay to hear the gospel! It was glorious! Five people (+ a ton of kids) prayed to accept Jesus and the kids had a BLAST! The show is totally geared toward kids, but has a fun gospel message entertwined.  Afterward we had cake and the kids got to take home animal ballons & play dough.  Overall it was such a fun night for Natalee!  Happy birthday sweet girl! Where did 7 years go?!? You are such a precious jewel baby! Love you!!!!!

Just a few pics... This boy... He is a papa's boy. He's obsessed. Wants to work hard and always be at Papas side. This day he skipped the children's library grand opening... To split wood with papa!  Decided to go bold. As bold as this girl goes.... And add some vibrant red to the under section of my hair. Too bad it's almost pink! Working on getting it a little redder soon :) This boy: got some DARLING clothes for his birthday! Seriously such a blessing. Sporting a new sweatshirt from Aunt Auttie below :) These two: they are sweet joy Adorable sweaters for Nonnie  These three.... Getting prettier every day. Gonna have to lock them up soon....! :) O how I love them!! Us two.... Getting a weekend away at the coast/marriage retreat. We were given the sweet gift of a coast stay by my sister in law & mother in law.  It was soooo relaxing!! One of the nicest weekends I've ever had away!
