Alex is SEVEN!

My sweet Alex turned 7 this weekend!  Yay!  And he wanted a Mario cake for his party, so I slaved away in the kitchen and came up with this:

When he spotted this guy, he looked incredulous and said, “I didn’t know you knew how to make goombas!!!”

Neither did I, honey.  Neither did I.

We had a big hamburger cookout at the house for him and everyone had a really great time.

There were bubbles…

The wind was nuts!  Just check out Sister Crazy Hair over here…

And a big Silly String fight…

And Silly String in the face…

The the kids gathered around for gift time.  I’ve never seen such a bunch of deliriously happy, tired, sweet kiddos.

The last of the guests left around 10 that night and we left out for a birthday trip to Six Flags the next morning.  Needless to say, this kid had an amazing birthday weekend!
