Easton Turned Seven

One of my favorite points from one of the homeschool conferences I attended (post to come later) was:

The days can seem long but the years go by fast.

Each birthday reminds me of that fact.  It doesn't seem possible that Easton has been a part of our family for seven years--yet on the other hand, it's as if he has always been here!  He had lots of fun celebrating by having a few friends over to play and eat cake and ice cream.

 He had seen a cake at Hy-Vee with a tractor on it and requested a "tractor cake" for his birthday.  That was easy enough--so sweet of him to give his mama a break this year.

His guest list included Trey, Justin, Wyatt, Clancy, Caleb and Joshua.  They are a nice group of boys.

 Silly, yes, but nice, nonetheless.

 They kept very busy playing lots of boy games and especially enjoyed playing Battleground with Easton's cool big brother, Destry.
