5:05am Wake-up call from Tanner, "It's my birthday! I'm seven! Let's open my present and eat donuts!"
Sheesh. It was still pitch black outside.
The rest of the day we got ready for his "friends" pirate party. For months, he's been planning on going to Disneyland with Shad for his birthday. Just the two of them and he'd pick out his gift there. All I'd have to do is get a cake. I was rooting for this plan. Then a week before his birthday, he says, "Mom, I changed my mind. I want a friends party." Man.
So a pirate party we planned.
We played musical chairs, drew a treasure map, put together a huge floor pirate puzzle, did a pinata and of course hunted for treasure. Ama came and made balloon swords and animals for the kids (thank you ama!) and we had a dress-up station for the kids to get into their pirate gear.
It was fun. And I'm glad it's over. Phew.
Now Kate's birthday is tomorrow.
Elle's is in 2 weeks.
Mine was last week.
It's always hard for me to eat good in January. We have a constant rotation of cakes hanging around for the month.

Those pics are so cute! Man, that is a lot to plan!
SO CUTE! I love Tanner- he's so happy. I can't believe he's 7. Love you!!! You are such a good mom.
Looks like the party was a great success...I cannot believe how much your kids have grown...
That's too bad that he didn't want to go to Disneyland. I'm going to Disneyland. It's too bad that my birthday is on Sunday, though. I'll have to do it before. That looks so fun! Who made the cake? It looks really cool. Love you! ;)
Looks like a roaring time was had by all, except the PLANNER that is a lot of work for a short time you had to get it done in. I know he will remember all of these fun times when he grows up and will appreciate it more then. What a great and wonderful mom he is blessed with. I love you and I send hugs and kisses to all
Just looking at the pictures makes me exhausted! What a fun looking party!
