My baby is 7!

We celebrated Rae's birthday while we were in Charlotte. Her actual birthday was on Sunday, so on Saturday we had the whole family over for swimming, pizza and cake. Rae was in heaven! Her cousins and aunts and uncles were really generous and she got some awesome gifts. She didn't look very excited while opening her presents, but I think she was just tired.

And now that I've made it once it'll be easy to make again (uh oh!) It was definitely the perfect cake for Rae - she's a huge fan of peanut butter and Reeses. Mmm mmm good!

It worked - Rae and maybe or two other kids asked for cake but the rest were happy with cupcakes, and all of the adults got a slice of heaven :)

I can't believe she is 7! Seems like just yesterday I was up all night with my sweet little newborn Rae. She's such an awesome little girl - she's super helpful, loves to learn and is just so full of energy and excitement! I love my sweet Rae!
