Happy 7th Birthday Alex!

Our oldest turned 7 at 2:01 AM. He slept through it, but when he awoke, he began a fun and relaxing day. He and Becky made cinnamon rolls after breakfast. He opened presents from family and got a lot of neat gifts, including several new games.

We played Cars Tractor Tipping, Make 'N' Break, Gobblet Jr., Cars UNO, Cranium Ziggity, and Cranium Whoonu, and Cranium Cadoo. He was especially pround of beating me twice in a row in Gobblet Jr., which is like Tic-Tac-Toe, but played with small wooden cups in 3 sizes that can gobble up your opponents smaller pieces. Becky had to ask me if I let him win because it was his birthday - while that sounded noble, he earned the win the hard way. He must've had a good teacher. :)

Grammy Hardage made him large versions of the cars from the Cars movie that we decorated the house with. We went out to dinner at Bravo! where the birthday boy had pizza and we of course came home for dessert.
