Turning 7

David has been counting the days until his birthday!
He has been so excited that he would turn 7 on the 7th (his golden birthday he was told)
and have a birthday party on his birthday with Grandma and Grandpa there.
Well...sometimes a few little kinks get in the way. Such as:

Emergency room.

ICU for almost a week.

My parents flew in a few days ahead of the party, but the morning after they came My mom went to the emergency room and then that night was transferred to ICU. Unfortunately, my parents missed the party, but we were able to sneak (okay the nurse let us in) David into my mom's ICU room so she could at least see him after the party and wish him a "Happy Birthday" on his birthday.

The day was busy, fun and stressful (especially just dropping my dad at the hospital and running home to have a party not knowing fully what was going on with my mom!)

Bridget didn't want to miss out on any of the action. She was right in the center of it all, especially watching and waiting to grab David's presents.
David LOVES legos.
All he wanted was legos and a lego party. That is what he got!

Well and some cool Aussie clothes.

A lego watch.

The lego cargo train he has been DYING for! They all kept him busy for days!


I was so caught up in everything I only took a few pictures of the birthday party. We had 10 boys and lots of energy. We played lego relays, built legos, dropped legos in jars, hunted for legos and played Brickmaster says.

Each boy got some chocolate bricks, lego men crayons, a creation of legos they built and a t-shirt. They were like David's yellow one, but red.


We had lego head pops, lego drinks, cupcakes and ice cream.

We had a great celebration!

Almost as big as the one we had when my mom got out of the hospital and was able to stay with us an additional week! Yippe!
