Holy Crap, how is my baby boy turning SEVEN years old? This kid looks forward to his birthday ALL YEAR LONG! Literally! He loves his special day and I have a big job to make sure he is not disappointed in how his day goes. We started off the day with special Star Wars with marshmallow (limited addition) cereal and then the opening of presents! The kid just opened a million presents 6 days prior, but hey why not open a few million more! He was not disappointed with Legos, Minion Stuff, art supplies, money, puzzlets and Star Wars gear.
This was his first birthday in Framingham, so we decided to go big or just go big. We invited a selected group of friends from school and a few others from his Somerville school to a Minion Birthday Party. Auntie G and I made these hats for the kids, we had a fun photo wall, pizza, a glow in the dark Minion dance party (seriously the funnest), cake, presents, pinata and the watching of the movie THE MINIONS.

(yes we had 3 Maddies at the party!)
Berke's amazing kindergarten teacher Ms. Scrima came for the party; she is seriously the best!
This is at 11:15 p.m. so Berke is clearly a bit tired from an amazing day and has NO energy to smile.
Family Minion Fun
Berke is basically an amazing boy! He is kind, funny, smart, sensitive, creative and loving. Berkeley is reading like crazy now; if you don't hear him singing, it is because he is reading. He also LOVES movies and shows and would watch tv and movies all day long if we let him. He loves Minions, Scooby Doo, Minecraft, Angry Birds and Star Wars. He started first grade at Stapleton Elementary this year and has done amazing! He has so many friends both boys and girls and loves to make his friends laugh.
Berke is a loving big brother, he has been wonderful to share his toys with Vivienne and is always trying to make her laugh, teach her new words and figuring ways to make her mad.
Berkeley loves soft things and will wear "soft pants" all the time and cuddle in blankets and pillows constantly.
His favorite foods are bean and cheese burritos, fish tacos, pizza, macaroni and cheese, chips, sprite, cheese and raisin bread. His favorite restaurants are Taco Bell and Papa Johns (I promise we take him to good restaurants!)
I love this sweet boy who made me a mama. He brings so much meaning and purpose to my life. I love him more than I can express.
Happy 7th Birthday sweet boy!

Just catching up on your blog...you guys are the best!! Viv is ADORABLE. I love her and her red hair. My favorite picture is the one of you giving Berkeley his birthday cake with the lights out. You can see so much love in your face! You are a professional party planner and the life of the party! Your kids are so lucky to have you (and Christian, too, of course!). Looks like you are livin the dream!
Hi Laci,
I loved getting your Christmas card and seeing how grown up your kids are getting to be. Then, of course, just now seeing Berkeley is 7!! I wanted to apologize for not getting your card to you. I, foolishly, threw the envelope away your card was in so did not have your new address. Kara couldn't find it either. At any rate, thanks for yours and I see you had a great Christmas with your cute family. I promise next year I will put the new address in the address book and not throw it away!!!
Love, Carolyn
