happy birthday to my favorite stitch!

jaden turned 7 on the 21st!
since her birthday fell on a thursday, she was lucky enough to have a week-long celebration...

first, her family party:
the theme was butterflies, hence the nets we used as goodie bags...

we usually make our own cakes, but this year jaden's grandma offered to help out and take care of them...

my cousin, jeromy...never one to take a serious pic!

jaden and monk...

opening presents...{and apparently not agreeing with whatever kacy had to say}...

her new bike...she was so excited!


and, of course, a little rock band to top off the evening...

jaden got to take cupcakes and treat bags into school on her actual birthday...
the next evening, she had a little sleepover with a couple school friends....


they had a little camp rock sing-a-long...


and then they decorated butterflies...
