Chase's birthday!

Chase woke up early for the last day of school - especially since it was also his birthday, and he thought he might have a few gifts.

Water guns and water balloons are very important for December birthdays... when you live in the Southern Hemisphere at least.

Cards from loved ones...

A shaggy rug for the secret hideout. Sorry, but I cannot tell you where it is!

Then we took a cake to school to share with his classmates.

Seven years old!!!!!!!

His classmates sang Happy Birthday in English and then in Spanish.

Oh, yes, one more gift before bedtime.

Since it was Legos, he couldn't go to bed without putting it together. Thank you to everyone for the phone calls, gifts, and cards that helped make Chase's birthday very special!
