Today we celebrated Brenna's 7th birthday. The first thing she said to me when she woke up this morning was, "Don't you have something to say to me?". Needless to say, she wasn't going to let me forget that today was her birthday.
I went up to the school and ate lunch with her. That is always fun for both of us. They get just as excited today as they did the very first time they saw me up at their school.
Tonight we went to Brenna's favorite place to eat, Rico's Grill. It's a wonderful Mexican food place just down the street from here. One thing that keeps us going back is every week they send out $10 off coupons to use. It's almost as nice as the coupons for Michael's and Hobby Lobby. Almost.
Tonight was the first night we celebrated a birthday there and had no idea what to expect as far as their traditional celebration. I expected a nice rendition of the birthday song and a sombrero. Instead, they did this to my poor, sweet, unsuspecting baby girl...
At first, I think she wanted to smile, but quickly realized what had happened to her and tears rapidly ensued. Once we cleaned her up, gave her kisses and let her open her gift, all was well. For those of you wondering, the wait staff apologized for upsetting her and offered her some ice cream as a peace offering. She declined and opted to eat the rest of the whipped cream left from her "smear campaign".

If you are wondering why they are all looking on the floor, it's because they dropped Brenna's present before she was able to get a good look at it. This also meant no good reaction pictures. She was very excited when she finally got a peek at her new American Girl doll, Kit.
This look says it all. We have been getting American Girl catalogs for several years and Brenna has always admired them. If you know anything about these dolls, you know they are not meant for young children. Eight+ is the recommended age for these dolls and although Brenna is just now 7, we believe she is responsible enough to take care of it. This is the year for taking on more responsibility for our girls.
Happy birthday Brenna! We love you!!
