Easton is Seven!

Easton is seven!  On the weekend after hockey, we hosted his birthday party with his friends at our house.  The result... he wishes he could relive that day over and over.
We went with a Pokemon theme.  We decorated the house, made loot bags together, and I stayed up late making a Pokeball cake and then we were ready for the party.
Easton had three little boys over to our house to help him celebrate and they were busy!  They started with some Super Smash Bros.  on the Wii U, then there was basement basketball, and hockey, a pin the pokeball on the charzard character game, outside fun, hide and seek, tag, cake, presents and playroom fun.
Then on his actual birthday, I was able to be at the school to volunteer with the Terry Fox run.  I ran a lap with each of the kids and then helped with the lap counts for kids by punching holes in their lap cards.
Easton did 15 laps and Hadley did 10.

There is always an adventure to get birthday photos done and this year was no different.  I booked in July before we went on holidays and then after getting both kids hair cut, we were headed to get photos done only to find out that the photo studio had closed down in August.  So... now that the kids were all dressed up, hair cut and styled etc, I really wanted to get their photos done, so we headed to Walmart for a photo shoot.  We managed to get a few good photos but the catch is that it takes 3-4 weeks for the photos to come in.  OH WELL.

All in all, I think Easton felt well celebrated.  We now have a seven year old boy in the house!

The doctors report.  Easton is up to 53 pounds;  This is up from 42.6 pounds last year.  He is in the 50th percentile.
He is growing too.  He is up to 123 cm from 110.5 cm last year.  Also in the 50th percentile.
No concerns from the doctor.  All good!
