Where has seven years gone?!? Ivy is growing up quick. There is no more baby-ish ways about our little firecracker. She is energetic, sweet, stubborn, little girl that adds so much delight, fun, and love to our little family. We were blessed God chose us to be her family seven years ago and pray blessings over her all the days of her life. May she know God’s love and share it with others all the days of her life. 

Saturday she celebrated big with friends and family at Mimi’s pool
      
Hope Ivy’s birthday wish comes true
  
         

Thankful we get to celebrate our sweet little girls birthday with her
 
Ivy was so excited to get to open her presents from her sweet friends 
   


As Ivy’s friends left we tried to get pictures of Ivy with all of her sweet friends that came to celebrate Ivy’s big day with her
 
 

 
 

She got a couple awesome family gifts too

 
So thankful Ivy has a sweet group of friends and family to celebrate her big day

Thank you Grandpa and Deedee for letting Ivy pick out a bike for her birthday! She was excited to get to pick out one that she wanted and that no one else has ridden.
   
Sweet sisters having fun with a few of the new toys after Ivy wrote her thank you notes
 

One of Ivy’s birthday wishes was to do whatever she wanted on her birthday. We tried not to make any suggestions so she would not have any outside influences since she said she never gets to pick what we do all by herself. It ended up that we had a home day; I guess the constant on the go with school and extracurricular activities caught up with her. That evening as we tucked her in she said she had a great birthday. 🙂 

Good morning birthday girl! Mommy went into their room when she heard the monkeys to sing happy birthday day to our birthday girl. Mommy did not wake up daddy since Ivy said she wanted to wake him up
  
Ivy was excited to wake Chris up as soon as she woke up (mommy normally makes her wait until at least 8) then she was itching to open her presents 
  
Sunday morning Ivy requested chocolate chip pancakes
    
The girlies enjoyed playing with the new toys


We have a chef and a doctor
 
Birthday snuggles and tickles are always fun
    
Enjoyed lunch with family
 

                   
Our birthday girl enjoyed playing with neighbors too

Good night birthday girl
