A Harry Potter Birthday

M turned 7 the end of September and he had a really great birthday. He wanted a Harry Potter party, so we tried our best and he had fun making and putting together a lot of things for the party with me. On his real birthday we had cupcakes for breakfast and he opened some of his gifts. He was super excited about a typewriter from his cousins and golf clubs from DH. At school that day, E, C, and myself came and ate lunch with him at school which he loved! After school he got to go to Boondocks with E and do a lot of fun things. He chose baked potatoes for dinner, one of his favorite meals.






The next day he was out of school and his Aunt Whitney came and picked him up and took him to lunch at Red Robin and to the bookstore where he picked out a Lego Harry Potter sticker book. He had a great time with her!

We all headed down to start the "party" after lunch. We met Grammy & Pops, Grandma & Grandpa, and Aunt Whitney at Gardner Village to look at the witches and get some candy. It was a great time and the atmosphere was very "potterish."



The party was that night at the house and we were joined by Aunty Ann and Uncle Chase in addition to all those that came to see the witches. We had a Hogwarts feast and slayed a dragon cake. Unlike the real Harry, M was spoiled with lots of fun gifts. He especially liked the Harry Potter scarf and Lego sets!












Still can't believe he's 7. He's growing up to be a great kid. He is an awesome big brother and great student and such a fun kid to be around!

You are just the cutest mom ever.... I love all the food names. And I don't know why but the type writer cracked me up. Maybe it took me back to seventh grade.... funny!
