Ashlynn turned seven on Wednesday. She had school and the day was a good one.

In the evening, the Lees stopped by. Gretchen had made a sunbonnet and apron for Ashlynn's gift. She had also made enough bonnets so that the girls at Ashlynn's party would have one to wear.
Nana, Papa, Uncle Dave and Uncle Brian joined us for Ashlynn's birthday dinner.

Ashlynn's dinner request was for homemade hamburgers. We added a salad (which Ashlynn likes eating with ranch dressing) and Pringles, as a fun treat.
There was some fun with the Pringles
Later, Ashlynn opened her gifts.
I was really pleased to see how Ashlynn read each card and gave a thoughtful response about it. My girl is growing up!
To ward off a little of the jealousy, Carter got a brother-of-the-birthday-girl gift.
As one of Ashlynn's gifts, I gave Ashlynn my Kirsten American Girl doll, that I got when I was a kid.
She was thrilled!
Ashlynn's main gift from us was a pioneer girl dress. Her birthday list for months had been "a pioneer dress for me and my dolls, a doll-size covered wagon, pilgrim clothes for me and my dolls, and a doll-sized Mayflower ship". Let me tell you, it feels a little silly to tell that list to her friends' moms when they asked what Ashlynn wanted.
Anyway, Ashlynn loved the dress. She was still giddy at bedtime about what a great birthday she was having (anticipating her party too).
Carter got some tickles from Papa and Daddy.
Grandpa called from Oklahoma.

Carter thought it was pretty funny wearing a sunbonnet

Happy birthday to Ashlynn! She requested ice cream sundaes (apparently she really doesn't like frosting).
We've got a seven year old! Where does the time go?
