Happy 7th Birthday Chase!

This birthday week has kept me hopping!  I can't keep up!  
We did celebrate the big 7th birthday though!

 He started the day (6:39 if you can't see the clock!) early by opening a few presents.
 Then MeMa showed up with some birthday pancakes!
 Taylor and I took Chase lunch at school.  He requested "chicken with bones from Hardees" - odd, I know. Unfortunately, the one we went to only had chicken tenders.  He got to pick one buddy to sit with us at the parent lunch table.
Owen joined us for lunch and then they passed out birthday brownie cupcakes for his class to share.
 Back at home, Taylor and I got busy making birthday baseball cookies for that evening.
 Probably a little too time consuming to just have devoured by 7-year old boys, but Chase loved them.  I never mind a good sugar cookie myself - probably why I made about 40 when there are only 11 players on the team!

 After school but before the game, Bryce and Emmy came over to celebrate.
 I was a little slow getting the camera ready for the first at bat.  He nailed it down the third base line.  You can see the first base coach pointing him on to second!
 It was a birthday double!  He was proud as a peacock!
 When he made it to third he was too cool to smile for a picture.
 I managed to get a video of his second at-bat.  Not quite as exciting as the first, but still a good one!
After the game, it was burger night at Marty's for dinner and balloons for the birthday boy.  He had a great day and he still has his party to look forward to tomorrow!
