Birthdays generally last a week or so around, at least that is what it seems the last few years!
Lots of celebrating, lots of presents, and lots of cake.
That's right Maks, You are Awesome!
For our family night on his actual birthday, we had dinner and then creamed filled chocolate chip cookies.
They were a big hit. He loved his new beyblades, Battleship game, tail ball and t-shirt. Though seems like Alek and Daddy love the Battleship game the most!
Next up was the big birthday bash at the gym! Maks was so excited to have his best buds and fave rock star cousin Jake.
Lots of running, jumping, flipping and climbing!!
I love maks' face when he first goes up on this, it is combo sheer terror yet excitement!!
In the end, he loved it. He got to do it again at gym class this week and this time he was flipping forward and back!
Great to land in the soft pit!
Loves diving in the pit!
Climbs the rope to the ceiling--You are one strong kiddo!!
So in the midst of watching all the excitement, I forgot to the order the pizza. So I had to run out in search of a pizza to be done in 15 minutes. I left the party in the capable of hands of LaLa and my neighbor.
Thankfully the nice people at Hennings market heated up two pizzas and I was back in under 20 minutes!
The kids snacked and the pizza arrived just in time. Then it was time for cake. Another awesome cake from my friend Jen! Of course being the together mom I am, I forgot forks--seriously who forgets food and forks for the kids bday party. I need a personal assistant! Thankfully the gym had a box for us and no one had to use their fingers!!
The party was a great success, Maks had a blast. The fun continued as Big Mike and the girls came back along with Den Jr and his family and LaLa , Jakey and Jimmy. The adults got to relax with a cocktail and some real food.
The boys always love when the girls sleep over.
The next day, Grammom, Poppy, Granny and JoJo came over for some more birthday fun and cake (ice cream this time, thanks Grammom!).
We had a nice lunch, Maks was spoiled with more presents and then we headed off to cheer Alek on at his baseball game.
What a whirlwind weekend, Maks you are so lucky to have such great friends and family!!
The weekend prior we headed to the beach to celebrate with Pop and Noni.
It was a crisp fall weekend at the beach. Saturday was great for playing in the sand, looking for the perfect rock and shell and of course racing our scooters down the street.
Such a handsome birthday guy you are--those front teeth are coming in quick, no more sticking that tongue between your teeth!!
On a shell hunt with Pop!
Sunday was rainy and chilly so off to the bowling alley we went. The boys did not want the bumpers up, but after many gutter balls they asked.
Pop was offering monetary rewards for strikes and spares. I got quite a few of them, but apparently I was not included in that incentive. Maks managed to almost bowl himself down the lane at one point.
A great time was had by all! We wrapped up the day with a trip to Walmart for a run down the toy isle and then had an awesome dinner at Grotto. Can't go to the beach without getting my Grotto fix!
Monday was nicer at tthe beach, cold and crisp, perfect for a long walk on the beach.
We were sad to head home, I for one will be wishing the winter away so we can head back to the beach again!!
And the week prior to that, friends came over for some Friday night fun!
Pizza, drinks, fire and smores on a crisp fall night. We had leftover sparklers from the Maine wedding, so the kids had a blast lighting up the yard.
The week(s) of Maks have come to an end. Maky I hope you had an awesome time, you are such an amazing kiddo and we love you so much. You make our lives full and complete.
We hope 7 is your best year yet!!!
