Corinne turns 7

Hard to believe that she is turning 7.  She has never been the child to have big parties, that is more Simone's thing, just because when you have a summer birthday, you are not around all the kids in your class to invite.  And sadly because her birthday falls the day after Independence Day, everyone is usually out of town.  So C usually ends up having just a family gathering.  It is not fair and I don't like it.  But she doesn't have close friends that she always sees or talks about.  So we decided this year to give her the chance to decide what we would do all day.  She chose every meal and all the activities.  Some of the highlights were Coke with her breakfast, getting all 7 presents to open at once (we wanted to spread them out over the whole day), swimming, sushi for lunch, and seafood (shrimp, frog legs, and alligator sausage) for dinner.  Things we ran out of time for were the movie, ice cream, and the park.  I think she liked it though, and that is what counts.
