Lucky Number 7

Jack turned 7 (a couple of months ago)!  Yeah!  The celebration included both school and home festivities.  Jack was the Scholar of the Week at school, where he brought in a poster to share:

One day that week I brought in a pizza for us to share for lunch.

And on his actual birthday, his class sang to him, then at recess he handed out candy as a birthday treat.  Then we took a Mother-Son-Birthday-Selfie.  Because that's a thing.

At home that morning, he opened one birthday present (a toy he'd been wanting from Grammy) so that he could also bring that to school for show & tell.  And he had a special breakfast.  After dinner that night, he opened some more presents and blew out the candle on his cake.

A couple of days later, Jack had his first actual birthday party.  He invited several boys from his class at school, and a neighbor.  They loved the Sumo Bumper Boppers.  And when everyone was ready, we divided up the LEGOs so that each group would have the same general pieces - at least enough to make a car of some kind.  They the groups took turns racing each other down a hill, which was fun.  Then we enjoyed a doughnut cake (all Jack's idea) and tried to bust our pinata.  It was a fun time!

Yeah for Lucky Number Seven!
