Lainey is 7 years old!

Last Friday, April 24th, Lainey turned seven years old. :) 

She ALWAYS sits like this - knees tucked inside her dress/shirt/skirt/whatever.

So happy to have a CloudPet. :) Ha!

She picked out this outfit to wear on this rainy day. Cowboy boots, navy blue leggings, her blue/black dress, and her gray sweater. As y'all know, I don't fight too many battles about clothing. As long as it's appropriate, I'm good. I have too many other battles to fight with her! :) 

AND, it's always wonderful when we run into Morgan before school.

Lainey wanted (and received) a giant Checkers set. :) 

And she had her party at CooCoos during a TERRIBLE Texas thunderstorm.

Sweet school friends...Noor and Payton.

Walker and Evan. Clearly not thrilled about me stopping them to take a picture.

dance friends (that explains the poses): Eva, Reid, Ally, and Emerson

My only regret is that I didn't get a lot of pictures of her sweet friends that attended; the storm got us all flustered and I didn't take many pictures after we ate cupcakes and sang "Happy Birthday."

We are singing "Happy Birthday" to Lainey here (she debated about whether she wanted us to sing to her or not). She is covering her ears in this picture, but it looks like she's just happy. :) 

dance friends: Kali, Lauren, Ella, and Morgan

Cousin Ella. :) We love her!

Ali, Lainey, and Jeanne (more school friends)

dance friends: Anna, Eva, Lainey, Emerson, and Allyson

HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY, LAINEY! We just love you. Your sweet spirit, your honest heart, and your ability to find the silver lining in EVERY situation. Keep being you, sweet girl. We love you!
