Oh She's Seven...

She went from this...

To this...

In seven short years!  Our little baby that used to take naps all snuggled in on my chest now stands tall as she learns cheerleading, hip hop, jumprope, piano and Spanish.  Our little baby has grown into a wickedly smart, charming, funny first grader with a heart that is pure and a spirit that is strong.  Our little baby that we could not be more proud of often test us with her passion, but we all know that that passion will be her ticket some day.  We love you Annika...our (not so) little baby!

And this is what a girl who is seven gets on her birthday...

For all her fashion designing and letter writing and dreams.  I can't wait to discover what year seven will bring.
