Erin turns 7!!!

We celebrated Erin's birthday this weekend! She turned 7 on Saturday and it was great fun! We invited the Poole's, Grandma,and Sarah over to celebrate with us and I think it was a great success! We gave her gifts to her early on in the day so she could ride her new bike- the story behind the bike is she has been riding her first bike for the past two years. To say that she has outgrown the bike is an understatement! Bill came in to ask me what I thought about getting her a new one for her birthday. I asked what was wrong with hers and he said "you haven't seen her on it lately have you?" It looked like a grown person riding a mini-bike! She needed a new one, so that is what we got her. We put it in Grandma's garage and told her that she had a really nice gift coming- I kept calling it a "bum bum bummmm"...Once she opened her smaller gifts- a new church outfit, pop and candy from William, a Barbie and outfit from Tyler, and molding foam, a stuffed chicken, and temp tatoos from Steph, she asked where her big gift was at. We said that's it! She looked like she wanted to cry, but sucked it up and said "oh okay- thank you everyone" Then she went to check out everything she got- still a little sad! Bill went into the kitchen to "get a drink" and came out with her bike- he told her to pick up some paper off the floor and when she turned around there was her new bike! She said "YOU GOT ME A BIG GIRL'S BIKE- NO WAY!!!" It was classic! Her face was so funny! She rode it for the rest of the day every chance she got! What great day!
