Payton Turns 7

 I cannot believe Payton is 7 years old.  It seems like just yesterday she was a baby.  This year we decided to have a party for her at the park so she could invite more friends (she had a hard time limiting her invite list) and because that seemed easy for me since I am  pregnant.  We had crafts, sand toys, jump ropes, bubbles, hop scotch, and of course cake.  Everyone just ran around and played for about an hour and then we they opened presents and had cake and before we knew it the party was over.  That night Payton decided she wanted to go eat at Panda Express with my parents and brother to celebrate and then on Sunday we had dessert (Oreo turkeys) at Grandma Evans to celebrate.  On Monday I brought in a treat to her classroom, she picked popsicles and everyone loved them.  I think she had a great time celebrating for 3 days.  I am so proud of her she is such a good girl.  She does great at school and getting really good at reading.  She loves gymnastics and gets better every week.  She loves playing with friends and riding her bike and scooter whenever possible and she is a great big sister.   We love you Payton
