Millie Turns Seven

Well, hello! Just thought I'd take a break from the nursing marathon over here to share a bit about Millie's birthday. Millie turned 7 last week, and with the busy-ness and lack of sleep that comes with life with a newborn, we decided on a low-key celebration. She invited her best friend over to spend the night, and I basically let them come up with whatever fun they could find here at home.

Although I'd planned to decorate a cake for Millie, I finally decided it just wasn't going to happen, so I let the kids decorate their own cupcakes instead:

The girls also managed to find a bit of makeup to do makeovers, though I did not get a picture of them with their blue eye shadow. And do you remember these?

I slept in rollers like these many nights in my childhood.

And finally, what I suppose may be the most memorable part of Millie's birthday, we let the girls set up a little table to sell some homemade jewelry. This is something Millie has been wanting to do since last year sometime.

Much to everyone's excitement, they did actually sell two of their necklaces.

Alright, back to my sweet new baby. Hope you're having a good weekend!
