Erin's Birthday!

Cannot believe that my little girl is 7 years old in just a couple hours!  She is such a fun loving energetic girl.  We love her so much.  Before our company came we went bowling and out to dinner at Chuck-A-Rama.  Both of which she picked.  She had a great time at her birthday party on Saturday with some of her friends.  She was so happy that Ben and Hannah Crocker were here to celebrate with her!  She wanted a Gummi Worm cake so I made cups of chocolate pudding and cookies as if it was dirt and put in gummi worms.  She wanted to play musical chairs and pin the tail on the donkey so those came next.  Then they played water balloon volleyball and then we made a big slip n' slide down our little hill.  Fun was had by all. 

Conversation with Erin today:
Christine: Erin, tomorrow is Monday-what does that mean?
pause...
Erin:  School starts!!
Christine: Nope
pause....
Erin:  Our Washington trip!!
Christine: Nope
huge pause....the wheels are turning in her head so I showed her the calendar and asked her what is said.
Erin: MY BIRTHDAY! 

Even though we had been counting down the days to her birthday for the last several weeks she had forgotten since we had her party the day before.  Super cute. 

 Bailey, Erin, Ben, and Hannah had a great time decorating the backyard before the party.  Josh made the comment that they are learning how to toilet paper trees at an early age.  :)
