Zoe's 7th birthday

Wow! Our big girl turned 7 on April 2! I truly can't believe that she is already 7, seriously...where did 7 years go??? Zoe wish for her birthday party was Build A Bear party and then a sleep over so that's what we did. It was a blast! It honestly was the easiest party we have done, believe it or not! The girls arrived at 5:00 and giggled, ran around and tortured Jackson until it was pizza time. We ate pizza then headed off to the mall for Build A Bear. All the girls were so excited - I highly recommend a Build A Bear party, they all seemed to love it! After taking a quick picture with the mall Easter Bunny (John's spontaneous idea) we headed out and came back to our house for cake and presents. They ate the "Sleepover" cake, which I will have to admit was the funnest cake I have ever made (see the pictures below) and the girls loved being able to pick out which face they were on the cake. One of Zoe's presents was the new Barbie Thumbelina movie from Jackson which she opened that night. So after a little painting craft, the girls got all snuggled into their jammies and sleeping bags and watched the movie. The movie lasted until 11:00, which I thought they would all be asleep or at least about to fall asleep, but when the movie was done and we turned out the lights, the giggles began. It was so cute! It brought back so many fun memories of me when I had sleepovers. They finally fell asleep about 11:30 and slept until 7:30. Pancakes and sweet rolls were on the breakfast menu, then the parents started arriving at 9:30. It was loads of fun! Happy Birthday our sweet Zoe, I hope your birthday party was one where you felt extra loved and extra special! We love you so much darling daughter! Here are a few pictures to share!
