AIden at seven

Aiden Obadiah...you turned 7 this year!!!

And look how much everyone showed their love for YOU!!!

Mimi was gracious enough to have your Birthday at her house because of Mommy's and Daddy's crazy work schedules! 

I still remember the moment in the hospital where Daddy and I held you just like this between the two of us.  You were curled in my arms, and we tried so hard to take a self portrait of you with us...it was hard, but worth it.  Seven years later, you still feel perfect cased between the two of us! 

You enjoyed the presence of your cousins, who all LOVE you so much! 

And I totally enjoyed the FOOD!!! 

Yes, our sweet Maya did too! 

The girls did girl things, like pose for pictures! 

And you focused on the great adventure it would be to blow out seven candles and open a load of presents! 

 You are full of expression, dear Aiden, both inside and out!  We love that about you!

It took many deep breaths to blow those tricky seven candles out! 

Thank you Mimi...for hosting Aiden's Birthday!  We love you so much! 

At seven:

You are still full of so much energy, there are still days when you are the first riser in the home.

You have a heart full of love for your Mommy and Daddy.

You are the first to say sorry when you hurt someone,

But you are often shocked at how rude others can be in their bullying state.

You have a little bit of a temper, but when we show you unconditional love, that temper simmers very quickly.

You do NOT like to brush your teeth.

But...you LOVE playing with LEGOS.

You love Ninjago.

And you LOVE LIFE!

And...We LOVE YOU!!!
