finally, a friend party;)

Brooks had been waiting for a "friend party" for quite a while. For some reason it never seemed to work out or be the right timing. His 7th b-day, though, finally changed that. Admittedly, it was probably not a conventional birthday party. In fact, B's awesome older siblings really ran the whole thing.

They taught Brooks and his friends how to make paper Chinese lanterns.

Led a game of apple smashing--with extremely over-ripe/rotten apples that we had sitting around in the garage.

(The parents may have thought we were a bit crazy, but the kids sure seemed to have fun with it!)



Then Porter and James organized a game of soccer.



 Everyone enjoyed pizza!


Brooks enjoyed some presents!

That is, REALLY enjoyed some presents;).


(Great day for this fantastic kid!)

Then everyone finished off with some fun upstairs.


And tasty ice cream bar cake. Yum!


And as if that weren't enough, Brooks scored a second time, with another small family party.
He got a new fleece blanket from G-ma Loo.

Some other fun prizes. 

And a second round of birthday treats. Nice!

Love this smart, funny, silly, thoughtful kid!! Our family wouldn't be the same without him:).

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
