Palmer's 2nd 7th Birthday!

Palmer had a pretty good first two days of school. We were worried that he would be sad to have to go to school on his birthday because he never has had to before. We were wrong. He had a ball.

The boys always look forward to the birthday decorations and the breakfast plate of presents they wake up to.

Palmer got some books, wii games, bug vacuum, and flag football set (that was the hit of the year) and few other things.

The boys all wanted a bug vacuum, so we caved and got one for them all. They have been a hit.

Palmer picked to have thin pancakes for breakfast. He calls them "fold pancakes."

I went and got Palmer from school and took him to McDonalds for lunch.

Palmer's class has some fun things they do for birthdays. The birthday boy got to choose a story for me to read to the class. Jimmy Zanwow is his FAVORITE book. I love reading this book because it has fun voices and things that the listeners can do.

Palmer picked to give everyone bags of cookies for his birthday treat. I considered giving Moonpies to go along with our story, but they are the messiest treat known to man and I thought his teacher would kill me.

Palmer got to pick a prize out of the treasure box. He picked a frame for a picture he has.

He loved handing out his treats to everyone.

I loved that his teacher was even teaching during the birthday celebration. She taught them how to write a letter and they wrote one to Palmer.

After Josh got home from work that night we took the boys the Toy Story 3. They LOVED it. Josh and I thought it was cute too.

I never know what kind of cakes my boys will pick. Palmer picked this little Hot Wheels number.

We actually had planned to BBQ chicken for Palmer's birthday meal, but the movie was so late that we had to just pick up some KFC and have cake and ice cream. They boys were all so tired that nobody really ate...

That night we had one last present for Palmer before he went to bed.

One year until he can be baptized which he has been so excited about. We got a book to teach him about it before the big day happens. He also set a goal to have all of the Articles of Faith memorized before he is baptized. He already knows 1 and 2...we will see.

It was a wonderful day. I am so proud of who Palmer is becoming. He is such a happy kid that is so fun to be around. He is a hard worker and a good example to his younger brothers. Happy Birthday Palmer!
