Still Par-tay-ing

It was a full day for Jude as he celebrated his 7th birthday with friends and family. The fun began in his classroom where he was given a party hat and got to sit behind a birthday poster. The pizza was a surprise from their teacher for learning a very long memory verse. Good job!I think Baylee is actually hugging her brother, not choking him. Although, Jude's expression implies....

Look at the artwork on this cake! The bakery did an excellent job. Jude is really into sharks and this is just what he ordered for his party.

Jude posed with his class and poster to remember this fun day. Sisters Baylee and Sophia joined in. Many of these kids came to Jude's after school for lunch, birthday cake, ice cream, and play time. Another group showed up for dinner and fun, including Jude's cousin, Thomas.

Jude thinks the world of his sweet teacher. We are so happy she is the one teaching him this year.

The birthday boy with his Mom, who put on a fabulously delicious spread for all of us. She kind of looks proud of her boy, don't you think?

The celebrating is far from over. There's still the annual lunch and shopping trip with Memaw and Papa, and his actual birthday this Sunday with his beloved family. Stay tuned.
