7th Heaven

My baby girl is 7!!

sniff. sniff.

7 just seems like a big girl to me. 

Not a baby girl anymore. goes so fast. 

She is my right hand gal and I love her oodles of noodles. She helps out her mama so much and is wrapped around her daddy's little finger. Her brothers simply adore her and copy everything she does.

Happy happy birthday Ella bean. You bring us all such joy!

My 'bean's' latest obsession is beanie balls and Beanie booz. 

In case (like most people) you didn't know, 

They are the next generation of beanie babies.

So Ella requested a Beanie Boo Birthday party. 

And was very involved in the planning process

We decided to make it a teddy bear picnic 

and invited the girls

 (and a few of her fav Boyd boys :) 

to bring a beanie boo or stuffed animal of their choice.

When they 1s arrived they decorated a party hat for their Beanie Boo

They had fun playing in the photobooth while waiting 

for everyone to finish up their party hat.

Then they took them to the teddy bear picnic,

full of sweet treats and pink lemonade.

After they had a savager hunt to find a mini beanie boo

 for each guest to take home.

(wish I had thought to take a picture of them) 

 We finished the party with beanie boo cupcakes 

made by, yours truly, Ella and drumroll...Dan! 

We had a family cupcake assembly line, 

which I'm sure Ella will have a fond memory of. 

My only regret is I didn't take a picture! 

It was so sweet seeing Dan get all 'cupcake wars' 

trying to get all the beanie boo cupcakes done in time for the party. 

(told you, wrapped around his little finger)

Ella added a bunch more beanie ballz and boos to her collection. 

Which she will proudly tell you is up to 45! crazy. 

She knows all their names and birthdays by heart. 

Beanie boo addict I tell ya!

So Glad she had a great 7th birthday! 

That sweet face says it all!
