SEVEN!!

We now have a SEVEN year old!! Wait...what?! How on earth did that happen?! I know it is so cliche to say this....but time really does go by faster and faster each year and for some reason seven seems so much older than six. I am so proud of our big boy and we had such a great time celebrating!!

Brett woke up bright and early on his special day, hoping with all his might that he got the one thing he wanted most...a Lego Star Wars Kylo Ren Shuttle!

 And guess what? He got it! 

He worked hard on this all morning and we loved seeing how happy he was!

Throughout the day, Brett opened more presents and here he is with another Star Wars toy he got. Did I mention that this kid is obsessed with Star Wars?!

Posing with his new Star Wars Lego sets in his bedroom :-)

Later in the day, my parents came over to celebrate! They had lots of fun putting together the solar system that they got him! Btw, don't you just love my dad's blue reading glasses? He is so stylish!

After presents, it was time for dinner (Jet's pizza, as usual) and then CAKE!

Brett put the candles on himself this year :-)

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you"

Before Brett blew out his candles, he ran to get one of his Lego catalogs to show up what he was wishing for! How cute is that?! :-)

Action shots! Love how Camden wanted in the fun too :-)

After cake and ice cream, Brett was exhausted (wired, but exhausted!) so he had some down time in his room, playing with his new toys before finally going to sleep with dreams of Christmas morning and more presents! Thank goodness he has not yet realized how much it actually sucks to have your birthday the day before Christmas. And thankfully, our family and friends have never jipped him because of this! Happy Birthday, Brett Zachary! You keep us on our toes and teach us just as much as we teach you. Love you forever and ever!
