Birthday Boy!

My first-born baby has turned 7!  To celebrate we went to Houston to see an Astro's Game.  Doug got us fantastic seats!

 Aunt Courtney, Uncle Marty and Bryce came too!

 We got to eat dinner in the owner's private dining room.  The food was amazing!  We felt so special.  :)

 The kids had a blast going from Gramma, to Pa Jon, to Nana and back again.  :)  You can see Jane shelling and eating peanuts with Gramma as Peter cheered with Nana.

 Justin got to sit with Pa Jon for a while too.  It was so wonderful to have so many people to share this special day!

 Seventh Inning stretch!  1,2,3 strikes you're out!

 After the game we got to go down and run on the field - a rare privilege! The kids loved it and went crazy.  :)

 Peter got a game ball!  Woohoo!

 The next day we got to celebrate and have a big family party and Pa and Nana's house.  Peter picked a Super Mario Brother's theme.  So many memories of my own childhood.

 Gramma and Pa Jon bought the kids matching Mario shirts for the occasion.  :)  So cute!

 I had such a great time putting the decorations together...especially making the "chompy plants" as Peter and Justin called them.

 Opening presents!  Justin was so excited for his brother.  He cheered more loudly than Peter did at some of the gifts.  :)

 Bringing out the cake and singing...

 After presents we all enjoyed the beautiful weather and played.  The boys love their GG.

Mister Big Man 7.  Peter, you are such a blessing to our family and we praise the Lord for your life.  Hugs and kisses from Mama and Daddy.  XXOO
