Elise is 7

My gorgeous girl is 7!!!

She has been for 3 months, but I am doing this post now because firstly I am doing catch up and secondly because this is now an exciting year for Elles. In 2011 our first born will be baptised.

Ellie is very excited as we all are. But I am sad that this gorgeous baby is growing up so fast.
As anyone (and half the boys in her class )can see she is Bee-U-T-ful.

Those huge brown eyes that are always full of love and that thick brown hair that has caused many a tear filled tantrum but is now the crowning glory that is brushed constantly.
That shy smile that becomes a huge grin once she feels sure of things.

The graceful yet exceptionally strong body that can cartwheel and fill around everywhere but can also always be there to help her younger brothers and sister and be any Mummy's best ever special helper.
My super clever girl who picks up information like a sponge and brings a smile to all teachers faces as she works so hard and is the most attentive child you could dream of.
We love you Elise and know that in this special year you will continue to make us so proud.

Here are the birthday party pics.

Elise had a craft party and disco at home for her 7th birthday. We went for a grown up theme, which included the fact that this was a later party finishing at.......7PM!!!!! All kids were very excited about that part?!?

We did cake and cookie decorating.

And then decorated photo frames to put this super cute group photo in.
We played silly messy games including the flour game. Three guesses as to who won/lost and had to get the sweet out.
All this followed by a disco in the living room with flashing lights (thanks to Daddy's band).


Strictly come Dancing has a lot to answer for.
And here is my first attempt at a royal icing cake. Was going for an elegant look???

Love you Elles.
