Happy Birthday!!! She's been waiting for this day for a few weeks now...counting down the days, hours and minutes till she could officially call herself SEVEN! On the day of her birthday around 10am, she asked me "Mom what time was I born today?" (meaning the hour of her birth) I told her in the afternoon at 3:12 pm. A crest fallen face followed by "Oh, well I'm really six for a little while more then." This year was a 'date with Mom and Dad' year. She chose to go to Fatz restaurant. She ate Calabash chicken and thick-cut french fries. To top it off, she had a three scoop ice cream sundae with strawberries, whipped cream and a cherry on top! What a treat. After dinner she went on a shopping spree. Grandma and Grandpa sent her money and she couldn't wait to buy a 'Pillow Pet'. She found the one she liked--a turtle--and debated for hours what to call it. In the end, she chose Tommy. She wanted a ladybug birthday cake and I was glad to oblige her. 
Loving her beloved 'Tommy the Turtle' pillow--thanks Grandma and Grandpa. 
A new soccor ball and coloring set from Granny and Papa, along with simple gifts from siblings helped round out the special day for her.
Happy Birthday my little girl, you're quite a beautiful treasure. I love your smile and thoughtful ways. What would I do with out your help day to day with your younger siblings. I love the way every morning, regardless of how cold it is, you're outside after breakfast running around the backyard playing SuperGirl!
Happy birthday Super Girl. I love the patient way you have with Liam and Brianne. You are quite a example to us with your steadiness in wanting to read the scriptures each day. You have a shy smile and delightful laugh. I love you. Dad
Happy birthday to Delaney! I remember loving birthdays at that age! Great job on her cake! By the way, I might have commented about this before, but I LOVE your tradition of a "date with mom and dad." I think we'll be copying that one! :)
