Happy 7th Birthday to Miranda!

Mirand had a wonderful 7th birthday this year. One unexpected thing happened- her first top tooth fell out. Now she looks a little like a hillbilly, but she's excited- and I will be glad to not see her old, chipped tooth anymore! Since we only give birthday parties on even birthdays, Miranda had an afterschool playdate with 7 of her friends. All of the girls were from our ward. They all came and played outside, had snacks, and decorated cupcakes. Several of the girls had made cards for her, since they were informed not to give presents. Miranda really loves cards, so she was really happy.
Later that night, we gave Miranda our gifts- Easy Bake pans and a fish tank. She will get to pick out the fish on Saturday. The boys got her a watering can, candy, and a bug catcher box. She also got some money from the Utah grandparents. I think she might buy some cute fishtank accessories- we'll see. All in all, a great birthday. (Sorry the pictures are sideways).
On Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa Dickinson and family came over to celebrate. Miranda just LOVED her presents from them- Easy Bake Mixes, cute new pajamas, and an art kit with things to paint. We had the meal Miranda requested- Potato Soup, rolls, fruit dipped in whip cream, and apple juice. Then we had her chocolate cake with pink frosting and ice cream.
