Happy Birthday, Bentley Boy!

I can't believe my Bentley is already 7.  He's getting so big.  He's still little, yes.  But he's also almost 40% grown.  Which is a crazy thought.  The time flies.

With baby Evan and toddler Lincoln sick, and a Jake who felt miserable with a headache today, we weren't able to party the day away in quite the style we wanted to.  Bentley was a very good sport about it though, which I really appreciated (all the while feeling bad the day wasn't more fun!) We're planning a bowling or skating adventure with a sleep in tent movie night for next week when life "calms down." (Does life ever REALLY do that???  I keep hoping!!!)

What did we do?

We started the day with appropriate decorations.  Check.

We had chocolate chip cookies for breakfast!  Check.

We proceeded to make/decorate a cake.  Check.

We skipped school, because we can.  Check.

We did what we wanted to!  Lots of reading, math games on the computer, and board games with Grandma and Viva.  Check.

We got birthday balloons (which Lincoln ran off with... !).  Check.


We had pizza and chocolate cake with Reeses.  Check.


Was it a good "party"?  It was Evan approved!


We partied with the birthday-buddy, Great-Grandma.  Check.


We opened lots of great presents.  Check.


We played Wii with Daddy.  Check!

We love you, little man!  I'm lucky to have such a great oldest child.  I told Bentley that I adore him and will always be his number one fan, and that's 100% true.  :)
