I have a 7 year old! Amazing how the time flies by…
He actually got his cake a few days after his birthday since his birthday was during the week. But I like this photo of him with his number 7. It’s not my prettiest cake, but it sure was tasty!
Back to his actual birthday! Since we were (again…) not having a birthday party, we let him pick a restaurant for dinner. He picked Uncle Julios - we had been a few weeks ago for Taco Tuesday and he really wanted to come back for a certain item. (It will show up in a second!)
He was more than happy to wear all the birthday swag this year, but I imagine some day he won’t want to wear any of it. Gotta get my fun in with the birthdays while I can!
Natalie was interested in the beans, but nowhere near as excited as she was by the napkin pirate hat her dad made her! I have to admit, I was pretty impressed as well…!
Thomas has been asking for this for his birthday since we saw it the last time. A chocolate piñata! We watched several people get them and send chocolate flying off the table when they whacked them. Thomas listened carefully to the instructions and broke it perfectly!
Look at that beautiful mess of dessert. We tried, but couldn’t quite finish it all… So many tasty treats!
And a fitting birthday present for a kid who is enjoying new activities and hanging out in the outdoors - a skateboard! His dad will definitely be the one teaching him that as I have approximately zero skateboarding skills.
And look what his Aunt Heather got him for his birthday… Nerf guns! To be fair, she did ask for permission first and my only feedback was to get two so there wouldn’t be any fighting. I did not realize quite how much it hurts to get him with a Nerf dart though!
Looks like I need to come up with some fun targets to shoot because there will otherwise by a war in this house and I am not ready for that… ;)
Happy 7th birthday, my biggest-little-man. I love the boy you have grown into and despite my insistence that you stop aging, you are so very fun right now!
