The Little Man turns 7!

 Myles turned 7 last week and requested a "monkey" party.  I think this stemmed from the fact that he eats about 3 bananas a day and we often call him "our little monkey."  He also has 2 favorite stuffed animals that are both monkeys.  Soooo, I set off to find out what in the world you do or have at a monkey party!:)
We made 3 of these cuties, and I gotta say that this is one of my better attempts at birthday cakes!

Myles decorated the door himself with drawings of monkeys and a sign that said, "Myles is turning 7!  Let's go bananas!"
 Party hats for a game of memory and for wearing and LOTS of bananas for the BANANA DERBY!

 Practicing his best monkey faces...


 The kids created banana cars and then we raced them in a very* official Banana Derby.  Here are some of the boys...what a handsome bunch!
 Myles' buddies all have sisters, so we actually had more girls than boys at the party!
 Cousin Lauren with her awesome banana car...


 Let the races begin!!!



 We feel very blessed to be surrounded with awesome family and friends!!


 The BOY table!
 Hayley and cousins!
 We have been watching a lot of StarWars lately, which Myles has loved!  After the party(and every night since) Myles and Daddy battle it out with these great light sabers, complete with sound effects!





And here he is...7 years old!  We love you Myles and we're so proud of the young man God is growing you to be!
