I can't believe you're SEVEN!!!! It's been a perfect 7 years with this magnificently charming little girl... So much joy she brings us!
We decided at the last minute to go to Chili's for lunch on the afternoon of Rea's birthday. We'd all been out together, "running errands", and we were starving! (And by errands I mean that I discovered just in the nick of time before mixing up Rea's cupcakes that I had NO cupcake holders! So off we went for a drive!)
We had the best waitress who figured out that we had a birthday girl with us, and when they brought us our desserts at the end of the meal, here she came with 5 of her waitress friends to sing a very loud and boisterous "Happy Birthday" clapping song to a very startled and delighted Rea! I wish I had a picture of that moment - the look on her face was priceless!!! All of our little family birthday parties have really only consisted of the 6 of us (or 7 when David is home!) and for her to feel like there was a public celebration in her honor must've been very special! She didn't stop smiling the whole way home! (The first picture above is one Daryle snapped right after they got done singing!!)
