Look who's 7!

With a tear in my eye, I watched my "baby" boy turn 7!  I still can't get used to the fact that he's not 6.  How does this happen?  Anyway, without getting all sappy, here's the low-down on his b-day day...

I found this fun balloon avalanche on pinterest so I decided to try it out.  It was a bit nerve wracking because I was afraid he'd have to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.  We woke him up at 9 and made him go just in case. 

Then we got to work!  Dave was all "engineerical" and had to take over because my slope didn't equal mx+b or something.  I was the official tape tearer and balloon passer. 

So funny that he crawled under it instead of crashing through it!

He went back and forth a few times and then he finally crashed onto his bed.

 

Then downstairs for presents...

A lego radio, Legos, Cars and a raincoat...Yay!

 

Then off to school and home and off to...

Red Robin!!!

 

Then home for cake!

Eli requested a "whoopie pie" cake. 

This was my attempt...

Do you think he's excited?

Make a wish!

We told Eli that it was his job to cut the cake for everybody.

He loved it!

Ben thought it was delish!

This is how Eli cut the cake!

Close!

Natey said "yum!"

Sammy loved the frosting!

Still cutting!

What a great day!

Love you, buddy!
