Austin Turned 7!!

Austin had a fun birthday. It started when he went to school and was the Star of the Week in his class. He made a poster and took it with him; his teacher showed it to all of his classmates. Later on that day, I brought a very cool Harry Potter cupcake cake to his class and we showed them the video of you reading the book The Day of the Dinosaur. After school, we picked Austin up in the car and took him to his first surprise- something he has wanted to do forever. We went to the Build-a-Bear Workshop. He chose a small bear and dressed in Army clothes because he wanted it to look like Daddy. No other outfit would suffice. Then we went to Harmons and bought some the party supplies Austin said we needed. Austin decided he wanted to go play with his friend Caleb, so we went to my mom's. Caleb was not at home, so Austin went with my mom to choose his present, a helmet for his scooter. (We bought the scooter; this present was not a surprise, since Bryson cannot keep a secret.) I made a cake and we put up the decorations. Austin chose his birthday dinner: macaroni and cheese from a box with hot dogs and salad. Delicious! Grandma and Grandpa Huntington, Jana and Chris, and Grandma Daniel came downstairs for cake and ice cream. We had a lot of fun. Austin is very excited for next year when he can be in cub scouts.
