Today was Nick's 7th birthday! This was his off year for a friend party, (whew!) so we spent it together as a family. Nick's request for breakfast was waffles with a candle, of course. Later, after Ben got home, we went out for a quick dinner at Sizzler!
Nick still got to celebrate with a few friends at his soccer game. He was sooooo excited that he had a game on his birthday. He was sure that this meant that he'd score a goal and the team would win. Neither happened, but he had fun anyway. It was absolutely freezing! The cold rain pretty much pelted the team for the first half and then finally tapered off to a chilly breeze towards the end. Nick didn't even care. He just thoroughly enjoyed getting to play soccer on his day. Nick had us sign up for the treat so we brought cupcakes and everyone on the team got to sing 'Happy Birthday' to him. 
After that we headed home for more cake and ice cream. Nick insisted I make a jungle cake since he's going to be a zookeeper/researcher when he grows up. He said the cake was way awesome.
After cake & ice cream, we opened up presents. Nick got spoiled by finally getting the Nintendo DSi that he's been asking for forever. It was worth it to see the smile on his face. He was so excited & we were greatly rewarded with many Duncan hugs...which are absolutely the best!!
We had such a nice day celebrating this boy of ours. I can't believe he's 7 already. He's already so excited to get baptized next year and go to Scouts. He is such a great example of faith in our Heavenly Father and showing genuine love and kindness towards others. He is just an all around great kid and we are so blessed to have our little Nicky in our family! We love you bunches and bunches and tons and tons Dunkey Monkey!! Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Nick. I remember when you moved into the ward. He was a great kid. I can't believe he is 7!! Hope it was a great day!!!
That's such a good idea to do a friend party every other year...I think we may have to do that. The cake looks awesome! I love reading your blog and getting to know your family more.
he is so handsome. I actually think he looks so much like your family!
