Look WHOOOO'S 7!!! (a little late!)

Dash turned 7 this year!  I copied this cake from Natalie!  She made it for her son a couple weeks before.  Is Dash particularly fond of owls?  No. But I knew he would think it was really cool and special  just for him.   I was feeling really overwhelmed at the time and was so grateful that Nat had taken all the guess work out of the birthday job for me.  I am lucky to have such great friends who pick up the slack when I can't hack it!  It takes a village to raise a child and my kids are sure lucky that these women are a part of my village!  

Dash stayed home on his birthday and shopped for his cake stuff with me.  We went to the Goodwill bookstore and he picked out 6 books just for him.  They gave him one just for free too.  He thought he was a rock star!  

Uncle Jamie and Aunt Marilyn and the kids came over and celebrated with us!  We love to have them over!

Make a wish!

Time for the gifts! 

Darby gave him a fill in your own comic book book ! 

Daddy gave him a fishing pole with a gift certificate to go fishing just the two of them.

It was his favorite gift.

Max gave him Skylanders. 

The next week we headed to Chik-Fil-A with his buddies to celebrate because they had a game truck. (they thought I rented it for his birthday.....it was there for a family night.....I let them think what ever they wanted to think!)
