So between basketball games and practices, Kristoffer and Dana managed to fit in an early birthday party Saturday evening.

Who needs party games when you've got a roomful of children (both big and little!) and balloons?!

Aunt Emmy and Uncle Zach delivered the pizzas for supper...

Mommy Dana created adorable and delicious basketball cookies for our favorite 7-year-old!

Old Gray and Young Gray...8-year-old Karter with his 80-year-old Great-Grandpa Kenny, talking basketball....

Most of our family was able to come join the birthday fun!

Time to open presents! Always a committee effort, with plenty of help from siblings and cousins...

Kaden got a nice assortment of gifts and he was very appreciative and thanked everyone. Sweet boy!

Happy Birthday, dear Kaden...Happy Birthday to you!

Ice cream cake...a hit all around! Even if it was bitterly cold and snowing outside...

Our adorable little Juni-bug (17 months)...

...and pretty little Kassie-girl (4 years old)...

A wonderful evening...

...celebrating Kaden's seventh.
