We had a great time celebrating Derek's 7th birthday the last three days. We designated it "birthday weekend" and started on Friday afternoon. After three days of various parties/outings/special dinners/treats, and of course about 5 dozen cupcakes, I am officially declaring birthday weekend OVER. But Derek had a great time!
I had a blast decorating not 1, not 2, but almost 5 dozen of these gems. They did come out cute, though!
Sunday evening we celebrated 3 birthdays with friends. Chocolate covered strawberries, the black and white cookie, cupcakes, root beer freezes, and the best rice crispy treats I've ever made rounded out the menu. Sugar high, anyone??
Today I brought more cupcakes to school, where Derek's friends each wrote a cute birthday wish to him and sang, of course. (Note that the only other blonde haired child in the class just happens to be in this picture.)
And opening presents was of course the best part! Derek and Grayson can't wait to try out the new glove and baseballs!
Then finishing the celebration, Derek chose to dine at Claimjumper. It was Carissa's choice, as well, back in February, so it must have made quite an impression!
Happy birthday to my sweet, silly Derek!
