I made Parker's birthday cake tonight and let him decorate it with some of the cute decorations I found at Walmart.  He did a good job.

 It's Parker's Birthday!  I can't believe he is 7 years old already.  My little ones are growing way too fast.  Here are the decorations that Parker woke up to this morning.

 Parker had one friend that couldn't be here during the party, so he came early.  They had a lot of fun.  I let Parker open his gift and we had a little of the cake and ice cream before he left.  Of course, that meant when we sang to Parker during his party, the cake had already been cut into.  His friend gave him a slip n' slide similar to the one we already have.  We were excited about that, because we think it will be fun to set them next to each other and have races.

I let Parker open up one of his gifts while he was waiting for his friend to arrive for his party.  We bought him a boomerang.  The kids had fun playing in the front yard with it.  Just before Parker's friends started to arrive, they lost the boomerang on top of the house.  They were all pretty sad about that. 

  Parker's party started at 3:00 pm.  He had a lot of friend's from school come over and our friends from the neighborhood, Erin and Ben.  I took all the kids over to the school playground to play and burn up a lot of their energy.  Then we came back to our house to open gifts and have cake and ice cream before their parents came to pick them up.  Parker had fun at his party, but he had a hard time dealing with all of the loud craziness.  He loved seeing his friends, he just was overwhelmed with trying to play with all of them.  He just gets overwhelmed when things get too loud and crazy.

 After the party, we took the kids to McDonald's for Parker's Birthday dinner.  They love McDonald's  Mostly for the play area.  They all had fun.

When we got home, we took Parker's new remote control car out in the front yard to try it out.  Parker loves all his new gifts.  It was a good day.  Parker had a really good happy birthday.  Here is all the videos that I took today.
