Seven Years

A big happy birthday to my now 7 year old girl! I amazed by how smart, mature, and funny Sophia is. I know it’s cliche to say time flies but it does seem like the blink of an eye. Except for the terrible twos. I don’t want to go through that again.

She’s now the happy new owner of Ruby, her American Girl doll–a generous gift from a very good friend of ours. Ruby is also 7 years old. So I guess I’m now the mom of twins. I’m actually really excited about spending some quality time with Sophia. We’re going to design some clothes for Ruby. I’m looking forward to teaching Sophia how to use the sewing machine.

I guess this means we’re officially part of the American Girl cult.

We had a small low key family celebration this evening. Together we’re going to bake a chocolate cake tomorrow. Can’t forget the pink frosting either.

Come back in a week and a half when we celebrate the other kid’s birthday.
