Happy Seventh Birthday, Jaylyn!

Jaylyn is seven!  Okay, now she is actually 7 years and 29 days.  But, way back a month ago, she had a great birthday.  :-)

Jaylyn is an awesome big sister!  She and the other girls are always playing together and going along with Jaylyn’s crazy imaginative play.  In fact this morning, Jaylyn had Adley rehearsing for a ballet recital Jaylyn put together.  Leighton often wants Jaylyn to hold her and will follow her around.  She is competitive and is growing soooooo tall!  She is really enjoying developing friendships this year and is really growing out of her fearfulness of many things.  I am enjoying teaching her and seeing her heart grow as she desires to follow God in all her ways. 

She was counting down to her birthday a loooooong time before it was here.  She was excited to find presents when they woke up.  She and Adley’s present is actually their bedroom.  We have redecorated from Jaylyn’s baby nursery decor.  There will be final pictures posted about that eventually.  :-)  So, on Adley and Jaylyn’s birthdays, we let them both open some items for their room.

Jaylyn gets to enjoy a full family outing day since TJ is always off of work after Christmas.  And where would you guess that she chose for lunch?  Incredible Pizza, of course!
