Happy 7th Birthday, Elsie

(I don't get on here much these days.  Facebook and Instagram are just way too easy!) 

Elsie had a birthday!  She is seven years old.  This blows my mind.  I love this girl so much!

Here's her birthday quiz:

What is your favorite color?  Turquoise (It has been purple for quite a long time, but she planned on her 7th birthday that she was going to change it.  Purple is now her 2nd favorite color.)

What is your favorite toy?  My nook (She got it for Christmas and loves it.  I put her favorite music on it, and she loves to play salon games.  I love that she asks me if she can play on it.  She's so obedient.)

What is your favorite fruit?  Strawberries (She can't wait for summer!)

What is your favorite vegetable?  Carrots

What is your favorite movie?  Frozen (Shocker!)

What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch?  Pizza (She still loves it.  Papa John's is her favorite.  She eats chicken nuggets for school lunch EVERY DAY.  She won't let me make her a lunch, and she won't try anything different.  She is definitely Aaron's child!)

What is your favorite outfit?  My pink skirt, white leggings, boots, and my striped shirt with sequins on it. 

What is your favorite game?  Spot It

What is your favorite snack?  String cheese (She has at least 2 a day...at least)

What is your favorite animal?  Dogs

What is your favorite song (top3)?  Let It Go from Frozen, Roar by Katy Perry, Story of My Life by One Direction

What is your favorite sport?  Soccer

What is your favorite church song?  Silent Night (This is the song she learned on the piano for her Christmas recital.  She loves it now.)

What is your favorite book?  Nancy Clancy chapter books  (This girl loves to read.  She thinks it's so cool that she can read chapter books by herself now.  We have also been reading Harry Potter with her, and she loves those as well.)

Who is your best friend?  Brooklen, Leila, Liberty

What is your favorite cereal?  Cinnamon Life

What do you like to do outside?  Swim, ride my bike, play on the playground

What is your favorite drink?  Raspberry Lemonade

What is your favorite holiday?  Why?  Christmas because it's Jesus' birthday, I get presents, and I get to be with family

What is your favorite season?  Why?  Summer because I do a lot outside and I like being outside

What do you like to take to bed with you at night?  Paxton Bear, Uni, and my silky  (She sleeps with a bear that Aunt Liz made for Paxton when he was born, her unicorn dream light that she doesn't turn on...just snuggles, and her silky that she's had since being born made by Aunt Piper)

What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?  Toast

What do you want for dinner on your birthday?  Cheesecake Factory (She has always loved the bread, but now she loves the cheesecake.  We actually have to share with her now.  Darn it!)

What do you want to be when you grow up?  Artist, either a painter or drawer


To celebrate her birthday, we had a Frozen birthday party.  There were 13 girls there including Elsie, and it was quite the party. 


Thank goodness I had Angie and Piper there to help.  The painted the girls' nails at the "Snowflake Salon"

The house was decorated like a winter wonderland, we had lots of snacks and treats, there were a few crafts and games, and a lot of singing.
