Dalton's 7th Birthday

I'm only 2 weeks behind in posting this. For Dalton's 7th Birthday we decided to let him have a sleepover party. He got to invite 6 of his buds for an evening of fun at his house. Many people thought we lost our minds. I'll admit I questioned myself at least once but had confidence we could do this. The overall party was simple and easy. I made his cake as requested, we picked up pizza, popped LOTS of popcorn and devoured donuts the next morning. Overall it was a SUCCESS!! No one was ready to leave the next morning which left a good feeling in my stomach - they all must have had fun.

I can't even remember how much popcorn I popped that night but I did not realize just how much they could consume that was for sure.

We got them settled about 10:00 pm with their 1st movie of the night, Ice Age - Continental Drift.

After a second movie and some serious persuasion for a couple, they were all asleep by 1:30 am.

They were up bright and early the next morning. We heard them stirring, talking and playing contently by 6:30 am. Austin and William enjoying donuts and OJ for breakfast.

This is where the parents had to prior them out of to leave.

After everyone left Dalton got to open his present from mom, dad and Mallory. Look at that face. I do believe he was excited. Actually we have not seen him so excited about anything like that to this day.
