Chandler's 7th Birthday





Chandler's 7th birthday. One of our birthday traditions is to decorate the living and dining rooms with streamers and balloons. The kids love it! Jason stayed up late decorating and wrapping presents for Chandler's special day. When Chandler woke up he immediately raced downstairs to see his presents placed in front of the fireplace. He really wanted Nintendo DS for his birthday so that he could text his friend, Nixson. We let him open one present before do-nuts. Chandler smiled when he saw that it was a Harry Potter place station game. He'd have to wait until after dinner to see if the Nintendo D.S. was hiding in one of the wrapped boxes.

Jason stayed home from work and my 4 kids played the Harry Potter videogame all day! At 1:00 they met me at my school and we went to the movies. The boys saw Wall-E and the girls saw American Girl. After the movies, we came home and opened more presents. Chandler was grinning from ear to ear when he opened his D.S. game. He got it! Next, we drove to Chuck-E-Cheese which happens to be Chandler's favorite place to eat pizza and play video games. He loves the honey pot/bee game because he wins many tickets. Most of his tokens are used on this game! After dinner we invited Nixson and Ryann Wood to eat cake and open presents. Nixson brought his D.S. game and the two boys had fun texting!

It's hard to believe that my sweet, easy-going baby is 7. He is a calming spirit in our home. I love his hugs and smiles. Chandler is an explorer. He is often found digging for meteorites in the backyard and making homes for insects or other creatures. He loves science, rocks, and bugs. I love this little guy so much and I'm so blessed to be his mom.
