Danielle was pretty excited to have a birthday, a day to celebrate her.
On her birthday we had my sister and her twins come visit. We were also surprised my a visit from my mom.
We had Costco muffins for breakfast, Cici pizza for lunch, and Hawaiian Haystacks for supper.
Besides the food, we did lots more. And I wonder if I am setting the wrong precedence for my children by doing so much. But it is summer and we had the ability to do things. And we had visitors. So we played. And we had fun!
We began the day by bowling. I love the free summer bowling. It was so fun. Danielle felt like a princess and everyone had fun. Danielle's super good friend from school and the neighborhood was able to come with her family.
That evening, all the family met at a park and we celebrated Danielle. Now that two of my brothers and one of my sisters, plus two of Evan's brothers and all their families live in the area, there were a lot of people there to celebrate Danielle.

Danielle is one of those children that I could learn so much from. She is so carefree and objects mean nothing to her. She cares about being pretty and wearing pretty, sparkly stuff. But she doesn't value anything tangible. She likes everything, but doesn't really care about anything. She is happy-go-lucky. Ecample would be the piano. She has been playing for about 2 years and really likes playing the piano. She practices everyday and doesnt' complain. Spencer has been playing for 8 months and he is about to catch up with her. And she doesn't seem to mind that either. She's happy for them to be doing so well and happy that she isn't being pressured to do more. I really like that quality about her. She takes things in stride, she knows she is awesome, and doesn't seem to mind that people are different. She is happy with who she is. And I absolutely love her the way she is.
