Emily's 7th Birthday

Emily turned 7 this week, actually...she turned 7 today...but we celebrated her birthday a few days ago with a big shebang at Peter Piper Pizza. Our kids get friend parties every other year, and this was an on year for Em. She invited some of her best friends, and some of her fun cousins (we are so lucky to have six of her cousins that live in the area) and we partied the night away. It was a fun--and crazy--celebration.


And so the party begins...

Me with my girl...


games, games, games...



Crazy Girls...


The birthday girl with Grandpa Hooper...

Eden spent most of the party with Grandma H...

Ready for cake...Emily looks so serious in this picture.
Maybe she's contemplating her wish?

Out go the candles!
The whole crowd, ready to open presents...

This picture makes it look like some of the kids are
trying to steal away one of Emily's gifts and she's holding
on for dear life. But actually, the gift was just stuck in the bag and
they're helping her pull it out. I just thought it looked funny.

Party's over!
It was a very good night.

Doesn't 7 feel old? I kind of freaked out when Megs turned seven. Where is the time going? Remember walking down the hill to ballet with our girls in their little ballerina tutus and winter coats, pigtails bobbing behind them? Feels like yesterday. And as for Peter Piper Pizza...you guys are nice parents! I'm tempted to do that. Looks really fun, I bet she loved it!

I can't believe she is already 7. I remember when it was just the 4 of us plus Em hanging out in SL. Crazy how the time flies. Happy B-day Emily!
