Adriana's 7th birthday party!

Sunday night we had Adriana's 7th birthday party. Adriana choose to have it at Great Skate again this year so she could invite all the girls from 1st grade plus all her extra friends and cousins. Everyone had a great time and it works out great because we do a private rental and don't have to worry about having extra people at the party. It was such a fun time and everyone really enjoyed themselves!
Here is the birthday girl!

Some of the kids in line for limbo!

How low can you go? Adriana is getting pretty low!

And so is Andrew!

Adriana's birthday cake (of course it had to be horses!).

Singing happy birthday to Adriana!

Blowing out the birthday candles!

In the party machine! She gets to grab as many tickets as she can to win lots of prizes.

Adriana and her friends picking out some prizes!

This year made me especially proud of her. She has choosen to give donations to the local no kill animal shelter instead of receiving birthday gifts for herself. As she put it "I love animals more than I do toys"! She is a very special and generous little girl and I couldn't be more proud of her! Not too many 7 year olds would be willing to give up birthday gifts to give to someone else. Although, a few of her friends did get her a few things which made me happy for her!
Here is a picture of most of the donations she received. This isn't even all of it because we are still getting more! Thursday on her actual birthday we are taking the donations up to the shelter. I talked to them on the phone and they have a few people that want to meet with Adriana and give her a special tour of the shelter and let her play with a few of the friends she is helping out with! She is so excited and can't wait to go. I'm so glad they are making a big deal of this for her and hopefully she will be willing to continue her generosity and love the feeling it gives you to help others!

Happy birthday to my beautiful, generous, loving little girl! We all love you with all our heart!
