Today is pretty bittersweet for me. It is Kadence's 7th Birthday, and while she's in much less pain celebrating in Heaven, it's harder for us left behind. I have spent many nights looking through old pictures, but today the specific pictures from her 6th birthday are even more special! We celebrated in a room at the hospital that Felicia arranged, and she went all out.

Some of my students made this sign to hang up at the party. All of them made birthday cards for her, which was totally their own idea.

The cake was delicious, Felicia got a strawberry cake since strawberries were Kader's favorite!

I made a ton of cupcakes, which were a big hit too.

This has to be one of my favorite pictures from that day, such a cutie!!

Then she got tons and tons of gifts. This one specifically was a life-sized cut out of Justin Bieber, who again was the favorite, hands down!
Us and her other Aunt and Uncle all went together and got her a Kindle Fire, which she loved and used all the time after she got it!

Afterwards back in her room, she opened a gift from one of my coworkers and her daughters, and also wrote thank you notes for the gifts.
What a great day that we will cherish forever.
I know she is even happier celebrating her birthday up in Heaven this year!
