Last Friday we celebrated our first baby turning seven years old. I do not see how it is even possible that he is that old, but we embraced it and had a great time recognizing Tuttle on his special day.
I brought Tuttle's class ice cream sandwiches and ate lunch with the birthday boy at school. He requested McDonalds chicken nuggets and fries. I tried to stear him in a more appetizing selection, but I guess he wanted to get something that I never buy him! :)
Tuttle's best buddies, Ryan and Graham, walked over to the park with us after school for a playdate and cupcakes. I hope Tuttle is still spending birthdays with these boys throughout high school. He could not find better friends.
The rest of the day was spent with Tuttle doing his absolute favorite activity: video games with Daddy!
Tuttle's soccer team, The New England Revolution, secured a win Saturday morning and it set the stage for a winning birthday party later that day. This year Tuttle joined with another classmate, Burns, for a joint birthday party at Stars & Strikes.
We had a great turnout for the bash with 17 kids from class plus some siblings and cousins. The group bowled, played bumper cars and laser tag, and spent some time in the arcade area. The boys agreed on cheeseburgers and fries for dinner.
Luckily Burns loves Legos as much as Tuttle, so they wanted Lego Star Wars cakes. I ordered the cake base from Publix and Lego kits from Amazon to top the treat. Tuttle wanted his cake to represent the Dark Side.
The party was a big success for everyone. While I am sad not to plan cute themed celebrations, hosting a party at a place like Stars & Strikes makes entertainment and cleanup a breeze!
Happy Birthday, Tuttle! We are so proud of the big boy that you have become. You continue to amaze us everyday with your sweet nature, determination to succeed in school and sports, and creativity. We love you so very much and are looking forward to another year with you!
