Seven

Adrian turned 7 yesterday and what a day he had planned. He knew just how he wanted it and it was so fun to celebrate with him. In the morning I helped him make his lunch and then made him a popeye egg. At school he passed out Air Head candies to his classmates. After school our Hunter cousins came over to play.
They brought Adrian a birthday present that is so cool. It is a Halo action figure of a Hunter! The Hunter boys all picked it out for him because they knew it would be just what he wanted. It is.

To celebrate with cousins Adrian wanted ice cream sandwiches and he made sure I got something that Scotty could eat so we had popsicles too. After all the partying with cousins Adrian got an hour long XBOX turn. That's a pretty big deal for him. I didn't even make him do his job before he got to play.
For dinner he wanted bratwurst with corn for a vegetable. It was such a great birthday dinner because it was so easy for me to make. After dinner we opened presents and managed to surprise him a little. We got him a baseball that you can hit around a pole and then it swings back at you so you can hit it again. It's for hitting practice and he loves to hit. At first he wasn't too sure about it but once he got the idea he was thrilled. This morning he made his lunch and ate his breakfast super fast so he could go outside and hit the ball a few times before school.


For his cake he requested brownies which is great for me also because there's not a lot of cake decorating involved. In fact, if you can tell by the picture I just stuck 7 candles in the shape of a 7. Creative, eh?

We had a great day and I only got teary-eyed once. He was shoving brownie in his face and I just couldn't help myself. He's so sweet and growing up so happy and confident. I'm so thankful he's mine and Dan's.
