Seven and Sweet
My baby is seven! How did this happen? Much to our surprise, she did not want to have a birthday party; she wanted to do something special with the family. We started celebrating on Saturday when we went to Coos Bay and let her make all the decisions. First we went to lunch at Saphires Mongolian Grill. We told our server that it was Elisa's birthday, so they sang to her and let her choose one of their fondue desserts. It was delicious and there was plenty for all of us: Granny Smith apples with a chocolate-caramel sauce and chopped peanuts. Mmmmmmmmm.......
After lunch we went to see Ratatouille, which was a darling movie about a rat that can cook. The movie was funny, entertaining, and wonderful--even if it did endear us to a rat. The movie was great, but even better was the fact that we were all together watching it. After the movie, Elisa used her birthday money to do some shopping at Walmart, and by then it was time to head home.
Sunday was her real birthday, and she wanted to keep right on celebrating! She asked to go out to dinner and we reminded her we had gone out the day before. She said, "That was my birthday lunch. This is my birthday dinner...." I guess we are pushovers because we took her to dinner. You only turn seven once, right?

Oh Elisa, I am so sorry I missed all the fun you had on your birthday. I thought of you a lot, but could not call from the camp I was at. I love you darling, and Papa and I have your birthday gift, so we will come see you soon.

Love you!
