This Month is Such a Special One

Happy Birthday!! My first-born is now 7-years-old! I can't believe it!

He woke up Saturday morning more than ready to open his presents.
He had a wonderful birthday weekend and got to celebrate with his Mimi and Papi.
And he was very excited about the many Lego sets he got

And he loved the cake I made

Sunday the fun continued and we celebrated Eric's mom's birthday-- what made her so excited?The fingerprint flower painting the kids made for her
Sunday afternoon we headed to CA Girl's house so these two could celebrate their birthdays together another year Lucas and CA Girl's son Ryan

More present fun

A cake made by CA Girl's sisterIt was a great weekend and I hope Lucas had a wonderful birthday weekend! I will be doing his 7-year-old shoot soon- so will post those pictures once I take them.

Speaking of CA Girl-- tomorrow is our monthly Status Quote meme-- so be copying those FB and Twitter status to share!

    Looks like a great birthday weekend and fabulous cakes!

    We had a Lego-intensive birthday here this weekend too. When do our children stop receiving presents that come in thousands of pieces? I'm excited about that some day.

    Happy 7th birthday Lucas!

    SHUT UP! You made his cake? HOW IN THE WORLD????

    Happy Birthday to him by the way. I'm still oohing and ahhhing over the cake.

    And that last cake looks all kinds of tasty too! You had a very busy weekend!

    I'll see what I can gather for the Status Quote. I haven't been doing much on fb lately. I'm not loving the new stuff.

    Henry is 7, it's such an amazing age where they just look and act like little men.

    And I agree with everyone, pretty awesome looking cakes, good job, Emmy.

    Birthdays in October are the absolute best! What fun you had. And my goodness, I think the look on Eric's mom's face is the best thing for a Grandmother to give to her kids upon opening a gift from them. That is so sweet!
