Our girl turned 7! (Technically not yet, but we surprised her early.) She woke up to banners, a unicorn cake, and one very special present—earrings. That’s right, it was EARS PIERCING DAY.

She was so brave. One earring in and she didn’t even realize it happened. “Wait, what was that part?” she asked, blinking in confusion. By the time the second one was done, she looked like she’d leveled up in life. We celebrated with snow cones and a girls-only outing, giggling like a bunch of 13-year-olds at a sleepover.

Back on the farm, we visited cows, pigs, sheep, and kittens. Then came homemade ice cream (okay, electric—not hand crank, but we’ll allow it) and a birthday party with some of their friends. Cue the sugar high, cue the magic.
