Benjamin got to celebrate his 7th birthday on January 8th. I can hardly believe he is seven and that in ten more years he will be almost ready to leave home. Just thinking about it almost makes me cry.
Birthdays around here are pretty simple. I let Benjamin pick out what kinda cake he wants. He chose strawberry short cake. Then on his birthday, he helped me make it. Actually, he did most of it from chopping the strawberries to mixing up the cake.
We also measure each kid on their birthday and make it on the door jam. Benjamin had grow 3 inches from last year.
That evening, when Isaiah was done with work we all gathered around to enjoy cake and sing happy birthday. Grandma Mary, The Broadbent family, and Jeannie's family all came to help in the celebration. After cake, Benjamin got to open his presents, then we had a huge paper war with all the wrapping paper. It was a total blast.
Wow, sounds like he sure had a nice birthday! Can't believe he is 7 already!!! Where does the time go!?! I love how you mark the height of each kid on the door jam to see how much they have grown each year!
