Look who's 7!!!

My baby girl is 7. FOR REAL? Don't old people have 7 year olds? We celebrated Syd's day of birth by eating McDonand's with her at school (in which we made all the other kids jealous). Then that night we had Grandma and Grandpa Banks as well as Uncle Danner over for an EXTRAVAGANZA (aka dinner). I told Syd since we had such a HUGE b-day party for her last year (if you don't remember, 17 of her closest friends came to the raging party at our house) we were just doing a family one this year. She was okay with that. For dinner she requested shrimp linguine for a main course and cheesecake for dessert. So I did just that. We also had salad, and bruchetta (made by Aaron). The cheesecake was no ordinary cheesecake either! It was chocolate raspberry cheesecake, complete with a chocolate layer over the top! DELICIOUS, if I say so myself! It's so nice to have family around to just come over for the night/party! We LOVE IT! We also love our cute little 7 year old who brings so much joy, life, pizzaz, not to mention DRAMA to our home!! Here she is with all her fun presents and cake!
Syd around her 1st B-day! AWWW!



All the goods. LUCKY!!

Wow...where has time gone!? I can't believe you guys have a 7 year old?! It doesn't seem all that long ago when Scotland and I would come over to your guy's apt. in Rexburg and have such a good time just being silly. :)

Shrimp linguine, cheesecake and bruchetta!!! We shudda requested that when we were there. But BBQ'd fresh salmon from Aaron's dad was terrific too. Happy b'day Syd.
