Zachary turns 7!!!!

I can't believe it's taken me over a month to blog about this but our sweet Zachary turned 7 last December. I can't believe he's getting so big. We let him choose between having a small group of friends spend the night or a big party with lots of friends. He choose the small slumber party and had the time of his life. He was SO excited about it all. Martin & Linda kept Addie that night so that we could give Z & friends our full attention.
The boys played 'Pin the mustache on Luigi.'
I decided to splurge on his cake since we weren't spending a whole lot on the party. My friend, Sue, owns a bakery so I had her make a Super Mario Bros. cake. I bought the little figures that are on it but she did everything else with frosting. I took Zachary with me to go pick it up. I didn't tell him anything about it. He was blown away. When we got home he kept saying, "I just can't stop staring at it - it's so awesome!" And it tasted as good as it looks - money well spent!
The boys played Wii & XBOX, pinball and colored Super Mario Bros. pictures. They ended the night by all of them getting in their sleeping bags and piling in the game room to watch Kung Fu Panda. The next morning Jason made pancakes and I made scrambled eggs and bacon. They all had such a great time!
