Kaylee’s 7th birthday party

Kaylee wanted a science themed party. She loves math and science. "Mom we can just do some experiments and you don't even have to decorate!"

WHAT?!?! It's like she doesn't even know me.

I told her I loved the party theme, but that she would have to deal with decorations. I made a bunch of banners using periodic elements to spell everything out. She LOVED it!

Due to an unfortunate bee situation our front door was not accessible. Good times….. angry

And here we have the lab queen herself. She was killing me with her cuteness. She did her own "crazy busy science girl hair" by then end of the party it was a bigger hot mess. LOVED it!

And of course coke and mentos. I got baby coke bottles for each child. They all really like getting to do their own. Jon got some really fun footage on the GoPros.

This purple dress fro Yaiyai was two years in the making. Kaylee had very specific requests in her dream purple sparkly dress in that it needed to be pretty, sparkly, but still soft and not itchy. She was beyond thrilled.

She had fun popping balloons from her friends. "I'm so rich now!" Ha!

I tell her she has an elf ear. She has and ear that has an extra cartilage ridge that form a capitol E and it's a bit pointed at the top. She has taken to working on projects in the garage and has her own mini workshop. So we got her some proper sized tool and gear. She was SO happy to have tools that are real and fit her little hands.

Later that night after everything was cleaned up I got to hold my not so little anymore girl while relaxing on the couch. She passed out and I was near tears that it was my last time holding her as a six year old. I am such a big baby. For the past six months I've been telling her to just stop growing. Her response is always the same, "I can't stop. Just talk to Jesus about it."  Hard to argue with that huh?
