Adam turned 7 on April 11, which was the Saturday we drove home from the beach. Driving most of the day wasn't the best way to spend a birthday, but he did get to pick where we ate lunch (KFC) and dinner (Panda Express). We also picked up a cake and he got to open presents from us (an MP3 player, Carnival Games for his Nintendo DS, Playmobil Knights, and Tech Deck mini-skateboards).

Derek's birthday is March 30 and Adam's is April 11. They're close together and right around Spring Break (teacher timing) and Easter, which makes this time a whirlwind for us each year.

Derek and Adam are lucky to have multiple birthday parties each year. They usually get a friend party, a party at the beach with my family, a party at Easter with Helen's family, and a low-key party with the immediate family.

Adam's friend party was this past Friday evening. This year Adam picked a pizza party and movie (like big brother Derek), but thank goodness there was no sleepover. Those kids were wild. Adam invited his friends Ryan, Evan, Wyatt, and Max to see "Monsters vs Aliens" In 3-D.
