7 Years Old !!!

Can't believe that our baby is 7 years old. Seems like only yesterday that I held her in my arms for the first time....sniff, sniff. Oh how I love this child...she makes my heart sing! Happy birthday my little fish face!!

Claire was SO excited yesterday because not only was it her birthday, but it was her first day of second grade. When we arrived at school, she ran up to the principal and told him it was her birthday (she wanted to make sure they remembered her on the morning announcements LOL).

Claire requested a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate icing **yum**. She was thrilled with her gifts, proclaiming "I LOOOOOVVVEEE it!" when she opened them. I took some really great shots of her opening gifts and blowing out the #7 candle on her cake....you'll just have to take my word for it though. I seemed to have forgotten the memory card in the camera AGAIN!! Once I realized my mistake, I just put the half eaten cake in front of Claire and snapped this pic. Oh well, at least this birthday scrapbook page will look a little different than the other years!! LOL
