On Friday Helen turned 7. We celebrated early that morning with a candle glowing do-nut and song. Unfortunately Chad was sick most of the day and was not apart of the celebrations. However, he got better by Saturday. It would not have been a birthday without "Daddy" :)
Helen went on to school where she had cupcakes at snack time. Then she had some balloons brought to the school. A little incident sidetracked their delivery, but they were loved none the less when she did get them. :)
Helen's class won the spirit stick at the Pep Rally. I love watching her and Mary Grace run across the gym floor to retrieve it from the cheerleaders.
We ate out dinner with some new friends. Anne Marie and Teresa joined us later with our other friends Katrina and Mandy at the football game that night. Fun, fun, FUN!!!!
On Saturday we left town early for Hattiesburg. Helen had a blast at lunch. Our good friends Mallory and Adele (who are practically family in every way) joined my family in the festivities. We had a great lunch and enjoyed our visit thoroughly. Helen opened lots of gifts and we sang over a beautiful cake that my sister made. I do adore a Lee Lee creation. They always taste as magnificent as they look. I'm so lucky that she donates so much time and creativity to making my children birthday cakes. They are super special!
We spent the rest of the weekend at Auntie Lee Lee's house or at Marmies. I was sad to leave this morning. I do love my group! I know I am so blessed to be in my family. I treasure the fact that we all really love one another and love to be with one another. It just feels so good to go home to them!
So that wraps up Helen's birthday weekend. She's in her room now playing with her Barbie car and asking me get her laptop set up. Enjoy the photos...I gotta scoot and go enjoy my baby girl and some fun play time. :):):):):)

I love this post! We were honored to be included in your family celebration. Mal and I do feel like part of your family and they always make us feel so welcome. We absolutely loved celebrating Helen's special day with you all. Loved the food, cake, but most of all the fellowship. We love you all so much!
