Happy birthday, Megan - Family Party

We continued celebrating Megan's birthday with family on Sunday.  It was another Frozen party, complete with snowflakes, icicles, and even snow - yes, that's right, snow.  After the winter we had, I can't begin to tell you how much I resented spending a beautiful summer evening winterizing my house, but I digress.

A big snowflake, a little "7" bling
Aforementioned snow.  As much as I hate the real stuff, working with this powder was kind of cool.  Just add water, and ta-da!, you have a winter wonderland.
Creating a snow buffet
We even had a snowman!
Little sister got involved with decorating, too
Megan spent the morning of the party making favors for all of her guests, the little sweetie
We did a [snowy] sandwich bar, commemorating Megan's crazy love of Subway
A repeat of the Build Your Own Olaf snack bar from Saturday's party, with the addition of snow
Lunchtime!
Don't be fooled by the hat, she was definitely not having fun
New rollerblades from Grandma Dee & Grandpa Don
Paint your own pet rock from Grandma & Grandpa Purdy
G&G Purdy got them each a megaphone.  Wonderful...not!
Still more presents!
Lacey cuddles up with Grandma & Grandpa Goddard
The 7 year-old blows out her candles (the second time for this cake - see Spoonlicker's post)
Playing in the snow!...indoors...in June...
It was kind of fun...
Our birthday girl
How has it been seven years already?!?

Monday the 23rd was her actual birthday.  She found she had a very special visitor on Monday morning.

Sparkle Teddy Bear would never miss a Frozen party
It was a good surprise!

We celebrated (again) with dinner out at Red Robin and a trip to Barnes & Noble afterwards to pick out a new book - specifically, a 300 page chapter book.  7 year olds don't mess around.
It was a great (if somewhat exhausting) weekend celebrating our SEVEN year old!  Time's flying but it's so fun to watch her growing up.  She's turning into a wonderful little person right before our eyes.  Now, on to year eight!
