It was the perfect amount of kids and I think our boy felt super special!! I even stayed home with the girls so Rick could be with the boys and little sisters wouldn't get in the way. About an hour before the party was over, I dropped the girls by my in laws and joined the party.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves (and thank goodness I showed up to take some! They first bowled so I wasn't there for that and as soon as I showed up I ask Rick, "did you take any pics?" and he of courses said "oh shoot, no, I didn't even think to" LOL! )
So.Much.Fun.!!!
On his actual birthday he had breakfast in bed (his only request and I figured, hey, why not) and then we met up with my mother in law for lunch and at night we gave him his presents and had cake - it was a fun night celebrating our BIG boy!
He got 2 new fidget spinners and I think those were his favorite LOL
Don't blink Mama's with young ones, in what feels like an instant, they will be 7 and you will wonder how the world that is physically possible. I had a couple of good cries, some were sad because with every year he gets bigger, I will miss the age he was, and I grieve that his childhood is passing me by, but on the other hand, I had some happy tears because he is growing and thriving and turning into such a young little man. Such a bittersweet feeling.

We also had a little family party to celebrate him and Avery (we will be on vaca over her birthday) and I'll be back to recap that tomorrow!

That don't blink comment is SO true. I can't believe how fast my girls have grown. It looks like he had a really amazing birthday. Such a great way to celebrate him.
ReplyDeleteTime is such a crazy thing :( I love how his party was with his close buddies! So much fun and I'm sure they really enjoyed all being together. I love his cupcake cake, too. Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time celebrating your sweet boy! Why do they have to grow so fast? I am not a fan of that. Happy belated birthday Brayden!!
ReplyDeleteLooks so fun! I had to laugh about how some people don't think about taking photos. Taking photos is all I do!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Birthday! It looks like a ton of fun and perfect for a 7 year old boy! I love those cupcake cakes. Genius!
ReplyDeleteThis is the same type of birthday I am aiming for for Connor. Less is more is the motto I'm working with this year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun celebration for him!! And I seriously love that cupcake cake. That is SO smart! No more cutting!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! I am loving his Cubbie attire, too, haha!
ReplyDeleteHe is such a cutie! It looks like he had a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, Brayden!! It looks like he had a great time, Mama. Somehow this post made me tear up a bit. Oh man. I agree about their childhood passing right before us, but-oh-good-it-feels to know that they're growing up to be good kids/young adults! What a cutie Brayden is and I've gotta tell ya, I look up to you as a Mama with how you're raising your kiddos! Keep being awesome, girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteI love the doughnut cake - that looks delicious and CUTE! I want one for my birthday LOL! Also, I didn't realize your kids birthdays were like ours. We have one June 28th, August 7th and September 12th so its a string of birthday planning for this momma! xoxo ERIN
