Good thing you only turn 7 once!


This year for Anna's birthday we had to get creative since we are no longer in our Layton home with friends living right next door. As much as I fight it, Chris always wins out when it comes to celebrating BIG for the girls birthday's. He loves to spoil his girls and birthday's are his justification. So this year we decided to celebrate at Lagoon by letting Anna invite 3 of her friends. This was a bit of a difficult task for her because she really did want to invite ALL her friends and not leave anyone out, but since it was our checkbook, we capped it at 3!

In addition to friends, my sister Tannia and her family came, my mom, and newlyweds Jodi and Larry, Army Andy, and my friend Sara and her family.

My mom brought her motorhome up to the RV park so we stayed the night on Saturday which the girls thought was pretty cool.

I'm very grateful to everyone who came and made Anna's 7th birthday a big hit!
 
 

Can you believe the two in the top left corner are TWINS!
Autumn & Spencer will turn 18 in October...can't believe they are that old already!
 
Check out this cake. It's insane! My neighbor back in Layton made this for us. She does AMAZING work! I will definitely use her again for my next cake. Not only was the cake awesome to look at...but it was quite tasty too!!
 
Anna started out wanting a Monster High cake.
Wait...what about Sharks?
No! Spiderman!
 
We found 4 designs on line of each.
Cancelled out 2 from each category.
Then cancelled out 1 from each category.
Got the top 3, she nixed one, was left with 2 and this was her final design.
I think Monster High was much more fitting, although having a cake with a Barbie hanging out the teeth of a shark would have been pretty cool too!
