Mary turned 7 years old on September 29th! We started off the big day with the usual birthday pancakes with 100's and 1,000's on the "you are special" plate...thanks Ben & Laura for your hand-me-down wedding present (our plate was lost in our move)!
Here she is blowing out the candles!
And opening gifts from family...thank you to all the grandparents and great grandparents for being so thoughtful to send a gift or a card for Mary!
For her party, Mary had a pajama party with a few girls from her class- It was charming. They really wanted to play games like musical chairs, musical statues, charades, pass the parcel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_the_parcel) - which is a very popular game in England and Australia. We had a pizza party and then read bed time stories and watched a movie. The girls were so cute and I quickly realized (while watching Olivia) that this phase is very short.
Pictures to come!
Happy birthday Mary! We love you very much!
