Makin Turns Seven

Makin had a great time celebrating his birthday!

Thursday Birthday Treats
He and Charlie's birthdays are only 4 days apart so they brought school treats together this year.
Krispe Kreme made footballs just for us! Yum!

Somehow we now have the tradition of putting their birthday gifts in their rooms while they are sleeping so that they wake up and see the gifts first thing the morning of their birthday.

Eating Breakfast While Building

Makin was soooo excited about his gifts, he didn't even want to have breakfast in bed. He wanted to eat it on the floor while he started putting together his Lego Fortrex. This gift was something he has wanted for over a year, so it was pretty exciting.

His original birthday request was to go to a roller rink, but I found out they were closed that day, so he chose to just stay home and work on the Fortrex all day. He started at 6:30 that morning, took a break to go out to lunch (pizza) and then worked some more, taking a break for his birthday dessert. He got finished right around 5 o clock and was so excited to play with the completed project. (Roughly 9 hours of working time...) The next day he build with his new Knex all day when he wasn't doing his school work. :)

His birthday supper tends to be somewhat unpredictable. This year it was macaroni and cheese (no surprise) with popcorn shrimp and red lobster biscuits. His birthday dessert choice was dirt. (I feel like I got off easy on the cakes this year!!!)

Proud Of His Day's Work!

Happy Birthday to our awesome 7 year old!!!
