Happy Birthday SETH!!

Seth is now seven!

We have two 7 year olds for a month until Caleb's birthday.

We had one very excited boy at our house!!

He had counted down the days.  The day before his birthday in the afternoon he wanted to know if he could go to bed so that he could wake up and it would be his birthday.  He had watched Carrie Anne, Abby, Andrew, Taylor and H.O. and I have a birthday in the past 10 months as he waited for his big day to finally arrive.  

He had never celebrated his birthday before and he was 

ready for the big day!

The night before his birthday after he had went to bed Andrew, Carrie Anne and Abby helped me decorate.  He couldn't stop smiling as he came downstairs.

Our day was SO unhealthy, we started it off with pastries for breakfast.

Our theme was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  I had two little turtles all day!

My parents came over for lunch.  They brought subs, cake and gifts.  Seth really loved his new sunglasses!

After lunch the kids played.  H.O.'s brother had given the kids a karaoke machine for Christmas and they decided to bring it out.  I was serenaded with Jesus Loves Me and God Bless America 

A LOT!  It was quite funny to watch them though.

By that time H.O. had made it home from work and the birthday fun continued with balloon volley and a pinata.

What an absolute happy, adorable boy!

I love the expressions on some of my kids faces while hitting the pinata.  Apparently, my kids take hitting a pinata pretty seriously!

Turtle Andrew whacking the legs off.

The final blow!

I think this one is funny, not just because of Abby's expression but Taylor's!

He then was able to open his presents.  He had asked me for days before his birthday would he get a toy for his birthday, so he was very excited to finally get to open his gifts.

Hot wheels and Lego's -- his favorites!

He and Caleb had fun playing until it was dinner time.

After dinner we had a family movie and ended our day with birthday cake and ice cream.

It was a wonderful day to take a break from school and other activities just to spend time as a family and celebrate Seth!  He is an active, loud, full of energy, smiley, happy boy and we feel humbled that God has allowed us to be his family.

For years H.O. and I loved the name Seth and thought we would never have a Seth, but God gave us our Seth.  

We love you Seth!
