We woke up early, not because we are early birds, but because we it was opening day for baseball and we had a parade to be at at 8:30 am. The boys had their first game too and they both did really well....I didn't keep my eyes on the game the whole time because I was watching Marlow and Eliot too, but I know they both scored at least one run....maybe more and their team won. Go Giants!
Asa is getting ready to throw a bunch of candy at us, Ezra is to his right.
On Sunday we had a party, it was Star Wars themed with a cake decorated by Aunt Kelly.

We had a treasure hunt with clues that had the boys hunting all over the back yard for their goody bags. We also played "pin the lightsaber on Anakin" with a picture of Anakin that Ezra drew and a bunch of lightsabers of varying sizes he drew and cut out. We generally always play "pin ______ on ________" at birthday parties depending on what "we are into" at the time. I imagine we will play something like "pin the crown on the princess" or "pin the glass slipper on Cinderella" at Marlow's birthday party.

All in all, it was a beautiful, slightly chilly day. Fun was had by all and Asa is now officially seven years old. And we don't have to talk about "what to do for my (his) birthday" for at least six months. Gemma is up next, turning one May 1st. Then Joseph, and Marlow....the list goes on and on :)

What great pictures! Mary
That cracks me up - we ALWAYS play "pin the ... on the ...." at Hattie's birthdays too. So far we've had "pin the teeth on the t-rex" and then "pin the eye-spots on the cobra" and then "pin the spots on the ladybug" and then this year at age 7, we played "pin the tail on the kitten". You can see her interests lay towards the natural, creepy world for many years and is still the main interest, although she also adds those traditional interests of kittens and horses. Love seeing your pictures. Stuart family.
