I have a 7-year-old!

Tyler turned 7 years old on the 15th! I can't believe he's that old already. Although everyone in his class, according to him, was surprised he was turning 7 and not 8 like everyone else. :). We started the morning out with the tradition of a candle in his breakfast. I was ambitious and made blueberry muffins for him instead of a bowl of cold cereal.

I am not ashamed to say I was proud of this cake. :)
Super easy, looked cool, and Tyler loved it!

Grandma Rose knew exactly what Tyler would like: money!
Seven dollars: one for every year.

Here's all his loot.

The next day Grandma Lindsay came with another surprise!
Tyler had to go through each tissue paper to find 21 things--and guess what they were?
Dollar bills, of course!
I must say, Grandmas do know their stuff.

As you can imagine, it made quite the mess afterward!
The kids had fun throwing the paper all over the room.

Tyler had a good birthday, and now he can't wait for me to take him to the store.
His money is burning a hole in his pocket. :)
