Bryant's Birthday Party

 Bryant's 7th Birthday party was the easiest one I have ever done, by far.  I needed easy this year.  He really wanted to go to the bowling alley.  I told him that would be great if he had 8 kids invited total, that included him and Erica.  I just didn't think we could keep track of more than 8 kids at a bowling alley!  Well, as you can see from the picture below he wanted a few more than 8 kids, so we had his party at our house.  Bryant isn't your "model" birthday party kid.  He doesn't like cake and he doesn't like birthday party games very much.  It was from 5:30-8:00, just pizza & apples, rootbeer floats, presents, and a movie!  His movie choice made me laugh, "Beauty and the Beast"!  I tired to help him out by suggesting other, newer movies, but nope, he was sure this is what he wanted.  I was worried half the party would be bored with the movie, but everyone but 4 kids watched the whole time!  The four kids who didn't want to watch played hide and go seek upstairs.   At church the next day a couple of parents said that their kid asked to have the same birthday party Bryant had.  Bryant had a great time and that's all that really mattered.
Bryant's t-shirt says "I am a big brother."  The hospital in OH where Tommy and Emmy were born gave it to him and he loves wearing it.  I told him to run upstairs and put on a nice birthday party shirt, when this is what he came down wearing I just had to smile.  (:
