Max just celebrated his 7th birthday. Before we begin you all need to know that he and his sister are being raised by a woman who never ever ever had a birthday party. Not even a Sweet Sixteen. *le sigh* Soooooo to compensate for the childhood trauma their mother *coughs*me*coughs* experienced, she throws fabulous birthday parties for her children. MTV should really come document these events. No, but seriously... they should.
I kid... I kid...
These parties are simply about making fun memories and being sure that no matter what they're eventually in therapy for they will never be able to blame me for not throwing them birthday parties. So a party we had. This year: BOWLING!
Max's beloved friend Dagny was in attendance. I always contact her mother before finalizing any plans to be sure she can come because a party isn't a party if his sweet friend isn't there celebrating with him.
Look at those smiles. That's genuine 1,000 watts of happiness right there. Oh and the outfit my kid is wearing? He chose the entire thing himself. I know... It was inevitable he be that cool with me as his mother. *grins*
This year's theme was Spongebob Squarepants.
Unfortunately Max didn't get to enjoy any birthday cake because he got sick at the bowling alley. He did recover enough to be able to fully enjoy everyone singing to him before he blew out his candles.
Then we went home where Max was genuinely overwhelmed by all the presents his friends gifted him with. It was clear that they know him well as he received all his favorite things:
He was a very happy birthday boy.
Bowling, SpongeBob and his favourite Girl...what more could a 7 year-old want on his birthday?! I absolutely LOVE his outift. He's one cool cat.
