celebrating seven

We celebrated Mae's 7th birthday with a weekend of fun activities. Friday evening, we invited a few of her friends out for dinner at Mae's favorite Mexican restaurant. They got to sit at their own table, order their own food, and be silly and a little wild. At the end of the meal, the waiters brought out sombreros, fried ice cream, and sparklers, and we all sang happy birthday! Everyone had fun (including all of us parents at the adults table!)

On Sunday, we met up with Mom, Dad, Kevin, Christopher, Emily, Oliver, Archie, and Lillian at the zoo. I'm glad we got another opportunity to put the kids in their Cousin Crew shirts!

The kids loved the barnyard show, especially the dancing at the end. They also spent, in my opinion, WAY too much time looking at bugs in the insect house! Mae opened presents at the end of the day and was excited to get lots of craft activities. She has been a rainbow loom bracelet-making machine the last couple weeks, and we have a million Perler bead projects decorating our fridge now.
