7 is so BIG! We started a new tradition this year - no friend parties on the "odd number" years. Just a date with mommy and daddy and a family party. We took Hunter to I-HOP for breakfast and he loved having just mom and dad's attention... even better, he was given an ice cream sundae--at breakfast! Lucky him, he got to go to 2 other parties on his birthday - there was no lack of friends or cake on his big day!
On Sunday night, we had a family dinner/party. I made the cake myself and I even surprised Hunter. He saw me throwing away the scraps and I commented that I didn't know how to make a cake and I was giving up. He was so, SO disappointed to not have a cake! Then I showed him a little square that I would decorate just for him. That evening, he convinced his cousins that there was only 1 small piece of cake for him and that he would just have to give everyone Gummy Bears instead of cake! I'm glad he was trying to find a way to make everyone happy. And we had plenty of cake for everyone!
The cousins.... lots of boys around here! And I love the cry you can SEE on Cole's face... very typical.
Someone else loved the cake too!
Danny was helping Chanin practice the piano. He LOVES to play the piano!

I can't believe how big he is. They grow up way too fast. He looks so happy. I love the Lego cake. Very creative.
