Joe's 7th Birthday

Joe's 7th birthday landed on a Sunday, so we started the celebrations by having Ryan's parents over for dinner. Grandma brought the cake!

A few months ago when I asked Joe what he wanted for his birthday there were two things on is list. Lego's and a video camera to make Lego videos. I am very interested to see what kind of videos we get. (I did set a few rules like no underwear and things like that.) He got filming right away.

The following Tuesday, Joe had a friend party. As I said in a previous post we spent a lot of time at Classic this summer, and all summer Joe asked if he could have his party there. The more I looked into it the better it sounded to me too. Having 6 and 7 year old boys running around the house with the Christmas decorations up is very exciting, but not having to worry about it was even better.

The kids had a blast running around with all of their friends.

The groups two favorite things to do were Laser tag,

and Blaster Ball.

Two games where you run around and shoot guns. It was a boys birthday party dream.

One thing that intrigued Joe about birthday parties this summer was when the birthday kid got to go in the money tube. They stick the kid in a tube with crumpled paper money. Then they blow air into it and the birthday child has to try to catch as much as he can.

Joe did really well. He caught 35. So he got 35 bonus tickets to spend at the prize counter.

The party was a great success and everyone had a fun time. It was a perfect way to celebrate Joe turning 7.

Happy Birthday Joe!
