Seven Years

This cute boy turned seven (a month ago... hey I'm busy). He is such a light in my life. Grey has the sweetest heart and is so thoughtful and loving. He is the one that surprises me with things to make me smile. He'll surprise me with a chocolate milk on my nightstand or help out Elise or read books to Cole just to make me smile. Even though he is seven, he still lets me hold him and snuggle without end in sight.

He had school on his birthday so we quickly opened presents before school and sent him off. I picked him up early and we met up with Grandma & Grandpa at Lollipop Park. All the kids had a blast.

His sweet teacher from church brought him a birthday cookie!

His birthday party with friends was a couple of days later at the gymnastics gymnasium at our rec center which is AWESOME!

A couple quick videos from the party. Elise sure got into it on the foam pit jump--terrified me the first time I saw her!
