Our life with 7 kids: Lauren's 7th birthday

Lauren. She is amazing! It's hard to believe that she once was my little baby that hated her car seat and screamed bloody murder every time she was in, the baby that loved crawling after Logan and Grace because she wanted to do everything they were doing. If she felt like she was being left out she would cry and cry. She was -and still is- an amazing sleeper! I remember people wouldn't believe me when I told them she would sleep 12-14 hours a night and still take two naps a day when she was 1 years old! The girl LOVES her sleep! Lauren is such a happy joyful fun girl to have around! She is so happy and always is content to do anything. She loves to ski, play outside, play house, help me cook, read, swim, and hang out with Grace. Grace got her own room this summer and Lauren misses her desperately and is often found sleeping on the floor of Grace's new room. She is a AWESOME big sister to Claire and Lucy and is so helpful and patient with them.

The 7th birthday is a HUGE deal at our house because that's when we get our ears pierced. Lauren has been waiting for this day and was VERY excited! She decided on the day of her birthday she wanted to go and get her Texas doughnut (HUGE DOUGHNUT), go to Big Mountain with mom and try out the Aerial adventure park, eat lunch and then on the Claire's boutique to get her ears pierced! In hindsight, we should have done the earrings first because she was so excited for them that she raced through all of the other activities so she could get to the earrings!
