Happy Birthday Brielle!

Brielle turned 7.  I love to see her get older and grow and learn and mature but at the same time I just wish she would stop growing up.  This particular birthday was momentous as she reminded us that she is now allowed to get her ears pierced.  So around here, turning 7 is a pretty big deal.

The day started with the opening of family presents and some birthday breakfast of toaster strudel and sausage.  Then daddy brought her chick fil a at school for lunch and then for dinner she chose the cheesecake factory.  See in the picture below you can even see all the waiters singing to her reflected on the mirror behind her.  That was pretty fun.

Then after dinner we were off to Claire's to get her ears pierced.  She started off brave but after the first hole she broke down a little bit and if we had given her a chance, she probably would've stopped after one.  But she got through it and now has some pretty pink jewels accenting her pretty face.  Isnt she lovely!

 

Then on Friday night we had a few of her friends over for the birthday party.  We made our own pizzas, painted pumpkins, made caramel apples, did the pinata thing and watched a movie.  The girls were crazy wild so I think it was a good time! 

Happy Birthday Brielle.  You've been a JOY to our family now for 7 GLORIOUS years and we love you sooooooooo much!
