It's A-Me, Mario!

Benjamin turned the big SEVEN last week!
We celebrated the weekend before since it was our bye week for football.
We celebrated with our favorite guys...the Mario Brothers.
We invited three close friends for a sleepover/party/Wii tournament.

Thursday morning, we had our traditional breakfast cake and sent our big guy off to school...full of sugar!

David went up and joined Benjamin for lunch and I came a bit later for a cupcake celebration.

The birthday Bento box:

I loved this little thing they did in his class. Benjamin picked seven friends to stand around him as his "candles" while the rest of the class sat around them as the "cake". We all sang to him and the "candles" fell down at the end. So cute!! And for a September birthday, they already had this little routine down pat.

Loving that cupcake!

We finished off the day with dinner out at Rudy's BBQ with my parents (Benjamin's pick...we went there twice last week!). Can't believe time has flown like it has. Love that buddy so much.
