Natalee's Family Birthday Celebration

Tonight we celebrated Natalee's 7th birthday with grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles and cousins.  She's so loved and we're so blessed.  
Aunt Lauren and Uncle Lance got her a glo tank and fish!  She named her new "pet" Yellowstone and we're praying he doesn't die!  She sat and talked to him after everyone left. 

Mia likes him, too!
 Feeding Yellowstone for the first time.

Great Grandma Betty still has the touch.

Natalee was a little leary of the candles tonight after last night's hair fire, even though I pulled her hair back tonight.
Is this what they call "Liar's Corner" at restaurants? ;)
Present time!
 A skateboard...
 {she loves to read the cards}
A sleeping bag...
 a numbers shirt for her baby...
 day of the week socks!
 {Miss, "It's still not my birthday."}
Playmobil Playground.  She saw this in a toy catalog and was saving for it.  Now her birthday money from Grandma Betty is freed back up and she's excited!
PS - this is our first Playmobil item and it's pretty cool!
Nannie knows how to choose fun clothes.  She's so excited to wear them tomorrow (and Saturday and have mom wash them for Sunday)!
6000 melty beads...I'm excited to try these with her when Mia is far away...Mia thinks the bucket is super neat.

{She also got a gift in the mail Monday - k'nex.  We spent nap time assembling!  Thanks Steve, Corin & family.}
 
When you have siblings you always have someone to play with...
 Happy Adelyn!
 Baby is ready for bed in a new numbers shirt and tutu!
Goodnight, Yellowstone.
She does wish he was in her room...right now he's on the side table in the living room.  We'll see when we rearrange in the bedroom.  I'm a little concerned about the tiny toddler going fishing if it's in their bedroom.
 Natalee thinks seven feels mighty fine.  She got to be 7 ALL DAY long and decided it is perfect!
If you need her tomorrow she'll be riding a skateboard in a tutu skirt (and Friday socks) with her dolly (in a number shirt) after checking on and feeding her new pet.  Then, she and I have a bead date at nap time and she and Xavier get to have a camp out with sleeping bags by the Christmas tree at bed time.  They also have big plans to let the princesses in the castle play on the playground.  She is SO appreciative of her gifts and of everyone coming to show their love to her.
