Kaila's 7th & 8th years

Kaila was enjoying being a sports cheerleader her 7th year of life, she is taking a long break from competition cheerleading and loving cheering locally. She does so many events in our county, such as recreation gatherings and cheering for football and basketball, it's not stressful and still is just as much of a blast as competitions were. She also enjoyed being the center of attention during a photo shoot at Storyland in Fresno with our friend Saki who is our professional photographer.

Kaila began 2nd grade during this time in her life and is one of the top 5 students in her class, she absolutely loves her teacher and has so many friends that love school as much as she does! Kaila's 7th birthday was a really quick really small party at home, it only lasted about a half hour because we had to head over to the Lemoore Christmas Parade so she could walk in it with her Lemoore Cheer Squad. She didn't mind a small party, she still got the gifts she'd been wanting and she also got to be in the parade with everyone staring at her which she loves :-)

Kaila had her very 1st official slumber party in celebration of her 8th birthday, we had tons of fun doing makeup and nail art. She spent her actual birthday at breakfast with Santa in Lemoore, because her cheer squad cheered for the crowd that was watching the show and enjoying their pancakes. Later that night we had a very small birthday gathering at home with just family. Kaila and her Aunt Tricia shared a vampire/wolf birthday cake, Kaila loves sharing her birthday and loved being able to open gifts together. Kaila is such a good girl and is always thinking of others and always makes sure everyone is happy!
