Keira turned 7 today!
This time last year she was starting school for the first time along with speech therapy. She excelled in school, aced the speech, and made big strides on the activity front this summer with dance and soccer. We are very proud of her :)
We opened most of her presents and cards on Sunday while the Grandparents were still here. This is her sitting wearing a birthday crown with Heart and Flash on her lap.
She loved the cards and presents (and being the center of attention).
For her presents she got a new gigantic cheetah (named Softy), a Barbie mermaid doll (to hold her over until she is old enough for the mermaid swimming tale that she desperately wants), a bunch of Shopkins toys, and then some dance outfits fro her American Girl dolls.
For her birthday meal she picked breakfast sausage- I had to take the photo fast before she gobbled all of them up.
And here she is with her cool cake and candle arrangement that Iria set up. Half the cake was dance themed, the other half was soccer.
