{Lego Harry Potter Birthday!}

Thatcher is REALLY into Harry Potter right now...

We read it every night before bed, and I often hear him repeating spells around the house.

He especially LOVES LEGO Harry Potter...so that is the theme he chose for his party this year.

We had some of his favorite friends over for an afternoon filled with all things Harry...


All the kids dressed up in their Harry glasses and robes...

The fireplace all adorned with easter and birthday stuff...it's a good eclectic mix.


Birthday banner.

Thatcher's favorite...Hogwarts that he built with Todd over Christmas break.

Cupcakes...




The decor....

The goodie bags...


When the kids came in we took them to this corner and dressed them in their Harry glasses and robes!

We then sorted the kids into the different houses...

The sorting hat we got was SO cool...
it had a little pocket inside where you could hide a phone that was on speaker.
Todd hid in the other room and did the voice of the hat on the phone.

When I put it on the first kids head and it began to talk the look on their faces was PRICELESS!
It was great!

Until some kids started getting sorted into Slytherin, and there was some protesting! 

One of the activities was making wands...the kids loved it.








We then went outside and played find the snitch and Quidditch! 








Next it was off to Potion Class...this was a HIT with these boys!









Cupcakes and Ice Cream...





Present time...




{Look who is 7!!!!...WHAT?!?}

I cannot believe that I have a 7 year old!

Yowzas...it sure does go by quick.

Thatcher celebrated in style at school, and loved being in the spot light (he gets that from his Dad) passing around his cupcakes to share and having 47 kids (2 classes) sing him "Happy Birthday"!!!
Oh he loved every second!

That evening I told him he could pick anything he wanted to do as a family for his birthday and he chose a pizza and movie night...yes, that is his ULTIMATE fav.

So pizza and movie night we had, along with cake and presents. 

Oh how I love my Thatcher, my first born...
He bring so much JOY into our family!

At school...
LOVE the glitter crown...
(something was wrong with my camera setting...)


Oh boy can this boy melt my heart...LOVE this age! 

In all his birthday glory...


This is the classic Monson birthday shot...have to have it.

His birthday loot!


Telescope...he adores it.  
And yes he has tried to look at the sun...many times.
ahhhhh....7 year olds...
if it's like this now I am hiding in a cave when he is a deacon. 

A new bike...
our summer goal is to learn to master bike riding!
