It's been a few weeks since the big 7th birthday but I still found it strange to type the title of the blog. It just doesn't seem possible that my babies are 7 years old!
This year we decided to spread the birthday parties out rather than having a birthday party marathon weekend.
First, we started with Brenna's friend party at the Super 8 in Osseo. At one point, there were 21 kids in the pool area. Thankfully, my friend, Sarah, and her mother-in-law were there for extra adult help because we needed it. The girls were all really good and I think Brenna had a good time.

The following weekend we headed to Hoffy's for Brody's friend party. Because we had to transport kids, he could only invite as many kids as we could fit in our two vehicles. I think Brody ended up having 6 or 7 friends celebrate with him.

Then came Brenna and Brody's real birthday, which was celebrated at home. Nana and Papa joined us for dinner and dessert.

Finally, on Memorial Day weekend we had our family/friend birthday party at our house. Brody had his bases all lined up for the adult vs kid baseball game but the weather did not cooperate. The kids played out in the rain and still managed to have fun.

Auntie Sheri and cousin Sara from Illinois even made it!

Brenna and Brody are blessed to have so many people who love them!
Happy 7th Birthday to our "B's!" We love you to the moon and back!
