It’s hard to believe that Lela is already 7 years old. She’s such a joy and she’s all girl. She loves cooking with me in the kitchen, baking, helping with dinner, cutting up the tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad, setting the table, going to the grocery store and anything else that I’m doing. She is really wanting to learn how to sew and keeps asking me if I’ve found anyone who can teach us how to sew. I got her a little sewing machine for Christmas but we haven’t had a chance to use it yet. She’s going to buy this little book with her birthday money:
For her birthday from Jeje she got an apron and cooking utensils from Vision Forum and a cookie scoop and decorator bottle set from Pampered Chef, so she was all ready to help make the cake for her special day. We had friends come over for cake and ice cream and a little play time midday and then we had another cake that evening after going to Pizza Hut for dinner (her choice). Her good friend Angelina has a birthday at the end of April and we started a mommy-daughter tradition last year where we take the girls out for a special time together. This year we’re going to Angelina’s grandma’s to have a little tea party. I’ll post some pictures later from these special times.
