I can't believe Amber is 7 already! Where has the time gone? For the past 2 months she's been asking us how many days until her birthday. Once we got to February, we started making her count the days herself. It was a good exercise in subtraction/addition for her! She needs these opportunities because she certainly doesn't get them in school.
Anyway, this morning I had to run to the store to get treats for her class. She was so excited for me to stop by and drop off the treats. Because they were frozen treats, she got to walk with me to the office to ask the secretary to put them in the freezer. The secretary was so cute. She told Amber she would put the treats in the freezer only if she could eat them all. Amber just got her usual look. It was like, Duh, you're just being silly! You won't really eat them!
After dinner we had a get together with my family. Anybody who wanted to come. We had a family home evening with birthday cake after! Our family home evening was about how everybody is special and we all have something that we are good at! Amber had requested an ice cream cake for her birthday cake! So I made the cake with a chocolate brownie crust and orange cream icecream! It was yummy, but I don't think Amber will ask for another ice cream cake. It was a fun night. Amber opened presents and had fun with everybody there. We missed the few who weren't able to make it for whatever reason!
