Jane is Seven

How in the world did that happen? Time is just slipping through my fingers. 

Here we are on lovely Jane's seventh birthday. (Caleb was home! Tired, but here, and that was a treat.)

Breakfast in bed for Jane, of course, and some sweet gifts to start off her day:






Jane wanted to "go see a movie in a real theater" instead of having a party, so we and the Hales went to see "Despicable Me 2," which was a hoot. And just before that we took Jane for a drive out in the country to pick up a little furry someone she's been hoping for:
 
If I read her lips right, Jane wished for a bunny last year when blowing out her candles. She for sure has been wishing for one out loud ever since. I tell ya, I'm not a pet person. But this little bun is darn stinkin' cute, and Jane has been a pretty good bunny mama so far.
Then Jane made a wish for next year:


 

Jane, you are such a special girl. Adventurous and enthusiastic and tender-hearted and sweet. Also passionate and spicy, but always with a strong desire to be good. We love you so much. Happy Birthday, dear Jane.

See Jane grow. here and here and here  or here.

Oh my goodness you are a nice mom to let that darling girl have a bunny. Yeah for Jane. Does she know that she and Charlie are destined for each other?

HA! Love that I get to see Jane in action blowing out those candles! Jane is by far the funnest person to witness having a birthday. No one loves their birthday as much as Jane. And with as much gusto. She was so enthusiastic in her thanks and gratitude for her presents. She just makes me so happy! Only 362 days until the next Jane day - can't wait!!! (ps - such cute bunnies!! good call Jane)

Katie hit the nail on the head - no one loves their birthday as much as Jane. I'm so glad to see she had such a wonderful day!
