Happy Birthday Drew

OK so I'm a week late with this one...

but it's taken me awhile to recover... 

The night before my little man's birthday he spent the night at his dad's which kinda sucked... but also gave me time to get things decorated and make a million cupcakes for his school & baseball practice the following day.

Thursday October 21st was Drew's 7th birthday.... seven years sure flies by faster than I could have possibly imagined.  That morning I picked him up from his dad's and took him to school. My plan was to spend the whole day in class with him (a tradition we started in Kindergarten). But that morning I also woke up with the flu.... so we lasted till about lunch time and then I took Drew home. He was worried about me and wanted to take care of me, but I made him but his doctor skills aside for a minute so he could at least open his presents.

 

We had his actual party on Saturday.. after he had a baseball game that morning ( can you imagine having the flu while trying to prepare/host a birthday party and go to a baseball game??... SUCKS!! but I guess it comes with the job) Lucky for us, my mom came out to help us get everything ready for the party. 

We played a few games, ate some lunch, and the kids ran around crazy in my grandparents awesome backyard. It was pretty cold outside, but at least it didn't rain.... till the party was over. 

My mom made some popcorn balls for the guests and surprised Drew and I by also making this awesome field to display them on. 

After presents and cake it started drizzling so we all called it a day. Drew had a great time with his friends and our wonderful family. Oh, and he wore his football pads & helmet for most of the day... this kid is all Dolphin. It was an exhausting day for me... but seeing that amazing smile and hearing his sweet little "Thanks Mom" was all I needed. 

Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy.... 

I love you to the moon and back again.
