Since she had a stuffy nose she ended up not going to school. Bella of course decided that if Sofia was not going to school then she was not going to daycare either, so both ended up spending the day at home. I had to work, so they both played until about 12:30 when I finally took a break for lunch. I then left work early and we went to run errands, including buying all the stuff for the goodie bags for her party the next day.
After work we all cut cake at home. My dad was sick, so unfortunately he couldn't come. But Lionel's parents were here, as well and Abuelita, Tia, Tio, Diego and of course Lionel, me and the girls. It is a family tradition – started by me - that regardless of when the party is we must cut cake on the exact birthday. Much to Lionel’s dismay, we also sing “the longest birthday song ever” and take tons of pictures.
On Saturday we hosted the birthday party for Sofia and her little friends. It was in the same place as last year, since she chose it that way. Parties are always a stressful thing because as a mom you hope that your kid doesn't have to celebrate their birthday by themselves. Luckily that was not the case. We had 14 children, so it was a good turnout and she had fun running around with all of them. Bella of course enjoyed the party and even told me “It was my party as well!”
Sofia enjoyed all her gifts, although she is still missing the one from us. For her 7th birthday we are buying her a bike. We didn't have time to get it over the weekend, but hopefully this coming weekend we can get it for her. She still doesn't know how to ride one, so we think it is way overdue.
So that was it! My girl’s 7th special day came and went. But I can still say one last time: Happy Birthday to her!
