Happy Birthday to My Boy!

In December, our big boy turned 7 years old! To celebrate, we hosted a Movie Theater birthday party with a bunch of friends. We turned our house into a movie theater for the day... complete with a ticket stand, concession stand, and dark theater! The kids enjoyed watching short Goofy clips and laughing at Goofy's jokes which were right on par with a 7 year-old's humor.

As the kids came in, they stopped at the Ticket Stand to receive 4 tickets from Uncle Bossy and his beautiful assistant.


Walking in they saw a movie poster of what was playing in our theater that day.

 They put their gifts under our tree which we just put up that morning!

Everyone made a stop at the concession stand to use some of their tickets for goodies!


It cost 1 ticket to watch the movie - hopefully they didn't spend them all on concessions.

Oliver's beloved Puppy saved his special "Birthday-Boy-Front-Row-Seat"


It was a packed house!



One happy birthday boy!

Oliver was such a sweet boy that day - he loved helping us get the house ready for the party. His imagination really took off as he came up with fun ideas to help transform our house. We were thrilled to have all of our family and friends join us for the special day! Having a 7 year-old has been a lot of fun so far. We love his awesome personality and friendly nature. He is a very organized boy who still loves schedules and lists. He learns new concepts quickly and is doing very well in 1st grade. We are so proud of our little man!

I LOVED being there for this special event! So glad I'm able to come for those special events!
I'll have to admit though that Lele stole the show! (pun intended)
