Happy 7th Birthday Phoenix...

So my beautiful little Miss Phoenix turned 7 on the 4th of this month but due to the craziness of our life she was not blogged about until now. Her birthday was a great day full of fun but a bit out of the ordinary routine (for us) so she was actually given the gift of the "birthday which never ended" she thought this was the greatest thing ever and told many inappropriate adults about this gift which any other time would have led me to feel the need to explain but at this time of stress...I just pasted my face with that oh so fake grin and agreed with my excited seven year old :)

Day one: August 4th~ Mommy and all the kids played all day at the Beamer's house. Phoenix got her hair done, played on the water slide and swam in the pool. She was then given a Webkinz from the Beamer's which she was so excited about that she ran around hugging everyone in the house. We then returned home after a yummy dinner from Wendy's and Phoenix was able to open the gifts from her Grandmom, Aunt Rose and Cousin Cylinda which were left for her while they were on vacation in Florida.



Day Two: August 5~ Daddy's home! Phoenix opens her gifts from our family and we find the left over Rice Krispie squares to stick a candle into and sing her the happy birthday song...promising her the Hanna Montana birthday cake she had been asking for and the balloon tied to the birthday girls chair tradition, which would be given to her on another day of her "birthday which never ends" She smiled and told me she was the luckiest girl in the world :) I so love her!




Day three: August 7~ Hanna Montana cake and a hand picked balloon from the world's most patient birthday girl!Here's hoping all your dreams come true...I love you Bean!

So sweet. I love the neverending birthday. The entire month of November is my neverending birthday. In the midst of crazy life trials it is wonderful that children can find the excitment in a rice crispy treat and three days of gifts! Though you make a mean peanut butter rice krispy treat! Happy B-day Phoenix.

What a wonderful mom you are! It's that resilient example you set for your kids that will teach them all they need to know to navigate the difficult times they will have to experience in their lives.
