Cyrena is 7

Cyrena is now a 7 year old.  I've probably been treating her as such for the past year or so.  My expectations are always so high for her--I need to back off! :)  Her birthday was the last day of school before break so they had a party and a half day. She wasn't that excited about her gifts at first.  In fact when she opened up a dress and a sweater she about threw a toddler worthy FIT.  Needless to say we had a big talk about gratitude.  But the birthday was saved by the Nerf Hoop with a laser ball and headgear.  It was a hit.  Oh, that and a book of magic tricks.  

That night we surprised her with a night out with just mom and dad--going to dinner and a concert.  The concert was The Piano Guys who she LOVES listening to and watching their you tube videos!!  It was a great night and she was very happy with her birthday.

-She is such a helpful little girl.  I know that if I put her in charge of something it will get done.  That doesn't mean she always has a good attitude about it but for the most part she is a happy helper.
-Cyrena loves loves loves school. 
-Cyrena can always make us laugh with her black & white logic and big explanations about how things work or why we should do something a certain way.
