A day late and a dollar short?
More like over a year late and a birthday short!
Truly, though, Sheridan turned 7 last February. And I have the pictures to prove it!
In our house, birthdays mean Daddy's Streamers! This year, Rainbow Streamers were in order.
She was thrilled to wake up in a Rainbow Wonderland (and after all the winter weather, who wouldn't welcome rainbows!?!). Notice her cute eye patch? All gone now!
To celebrate on her birthday evening, she requested this fabulous rainbow cake. It was a LOT of fun to make! She was a little bummed about it.
Actually, I think words like, "best cake ever!" and "Most beautiful cake!" were used by this birthday girl!
Woohoo for candles!
She did have gifts for the big day....but we tend to forget to take pictures of gift-opening on bleary-eyed mornings. Especially on school-day bleary-eyed morns!
That weekend, Sheridan invited 7 of her closest friends for a birthday party. Rainbows were required.
So each kiddo painted their own rainbow on a half-plate...
They outdid Picasso with their rainbow-hued cupcake decor...
And they made some rainbow-scratch bookmarks to take home.
Presents were opened, gifts were given, and everyone went home with a smile on their cute little face.
Happy Birthday, Sher Bear!

Sheridan is a determined, sometimes mercurial, girl. Kind of a teenager trapped in a 7 year old body. Sheridan can be so very responsible. She loves to be on stage and to perform, but does not like anyone else to call attention to her--she can call enough attention to herself when she wants it, thankyouverymuch. Sheridan is complex and intelligent and such a blessing in our family.
