Our day began with a birthday breakfast celebration with pink princess pancakes, complete with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and marachino cherries. We now (again, for the 5th time) have a 7 year old in the The Sisney Crew. After breakfast, she opened gifts. Her "big" party is coming up this weekend. Happy birthday, Maddy! We love you so very much!

In Social Studies, while studying children around the world, we found the following website that shows what the bedroom of children from different countries looks like. My girls were quite shocked and worried about some the of kids after seeing these pictures. Definitely an eye-opener.

Good lesson in being thankful for where your live and the things you have. There is always someone, somewhere whom has it worse than your situation.
