Morgan's 7th birthday

Morgan turned the big seven today!
I can't believe how fast the time has gone.
She had quite the rough start
but she was born with the spunk to get her through it!
She brings life into our home
she is a girl of a million faces
shes a great cleaner
she has been cleaning the bathroom since we moved here
and she does a pretty good job too
she also loves to organize
she organizes her dresser
the bathroom counter
the computer desk
she even helped her teacher organize papers at school!
we are thankful for her spunk and attitude
she really is a great addition to our family!
Here she is
first thing in the morning
bedhair and everything
she was trying to smile through a yawn
Bailey and I decided to play a little trick
she knew she was getting new shoes
so we decided to make a treasure hunt
when she opened the shoes
she thought she was done
until we pointed out to her that there was a hint
"To find present number two
go somewhere that there are things to chew"

She caught on to the game quickly
she ran to the pantry
and searched it for her next present
she opened it
it was gum from Bailey
on it was a hint
"To find the present that’s numbered three
Now go to a place where colors might be"


she immediatly ran to the computer desk
where we keep all the crayons and such
she found present number three
which was her very own colored pencils
on it was a hint
"Now to help you find present number four
Don’t you dare look at the floor"




She threw her head up in the air
and ran through out the house
she found it taped to the ceiling
by the laundry room
in it was an mp3 player
and a hint
"Just one last present you need to find
Go somewhere that has things to ride"



She ran outside
stopping for a half a second to put on her shoes
but it was taking too long
so she ran out side barefoot
to the bike rack
and there she found her new bike!
I wish that I was on the other side of the bike
so that I could have captured her whole expression
it was priceless
she has wanted a new bike
for her whole life
she has always had "hand-me-down" bikes
and now she has a brandnew
clean tires
never been ridden
bike!



She got on it right away
and took it for a spin
she is in love!
I am so happy that we did a treasure hunt for her
she said afterward
that she thought that she only got the shoes
but she said she liked doing the hunt!
Happy Birthday my Muggies
We love you!
