Alexys's 7th Birthday!

On March 25th, our little Lexi turned 7!  Can you believe it?  I can't!  I think her birth is the most vivid in my mind out of all of my kids because of the scary circumstances of her earlier delivery.  She was so tiny, I just can't believe that 7 years have gone by!  Lexi is still little, but she is sure a spit-fire.  She keeps us all on our toes.  We love her so much! 
On her birthday she opened presents, including her very own camera.  She went to school and shared rice krispie treats with her class, Dad came home early and we went swimming and then ate at McDonalds for dinner.  It was such a fun day for a very special 7 year old! 

Lexi's Birthday theme this year was Caterpillars.  So, we had a caterpillar cake and banner. We also had a friend birthday party for her, which ended up being so much fun for all of us.   Chad made an awesome caterpillar pinata and I did caterpillar cupcakes.  Lexi had about 10 friends come over.  We also invited our friends, the Jensens, to help out with translation.  It went much better than last year's crazy party for Myra with a ton of kids we couldn't talk to.  Anyway, we played pin the head on the caterpillar, the kids all got to make their own necklace, we had cupcakes, opened presents and hit the pinata.  It was a fun birthday party.  (April 12th, 2014)

 Pinatas are not common here, so we ended up with quite the crowd watching us.  There was even someone video-taping it.
