Kylee's 7th Birthday

Kylee is seven! I remember celebrating her 3rd birthday when Matt and I were just engaged. Here is a picture of cute 3-year-old Kylee:

And here is Kylee now... 

We celebrated a lot! We had two parties the weekend before her birthday. We celebrated with some friends Saturday morning at Piggy Pigs Pottery, followed by a family dinner and movie night that evening. For some reason, I missed getting pictures at the family party, but so many people came - Kylee felt loved. She was definitely spoiled!

Then, a couple days before her birthday, we went to dinner at one of her favorite restaurants - Red Robin!

Kylee went back to her mom's house the evening of her birthday, but Matt made Kylee a special birthday breakfast. She loves pancakes!

Here are a few things about our big 7-year-old:

• Kylee loves, loves, loves Legos, specifically Legos Friends. It is probably her favorite "toy". She likes making the different sets, and then plays with the sets. She doesn't do a lot of breaking down and rebuilding.
• She has become an excellent reader and enjoys reading chapter books. She is also really good at reading scriptures!
• Kylee loves playing with friends, and would like to have a friend over after school every day if she could.
• She is the best big sister. She plays so well with Tyler and always wants to hold Bradley. I love that I can rely on Kylee to help entertain Tyler when I am busy.
• She is becoming a pretty good piano player, and I enjoy helping her practice every day.
• She loves soccer. LOVES soccer. She can't wait to start up again soon.
• Kylee wants to be a chef or a police officer when she grows up.
• Kylee really is one of the nicest kids I know. She is SO good. We really hit the jackpot with her.
