Benji turns 7

My effervescent, determined, especially unique middle baby turned seven. He celebrated with a "friend" party + donations for the animal shelter in place of gifts at the park nature lodge, and a "family" party + gifts at our house the following day. He summed it all up by losing a tooth while laying in bed the night of his birthday. Grandma informed him that if you lose a tooth on your birthday you get a whopping $5 bonus. Too bad grandma didn't check the tooth fairy's wallet to see if there was a $5 bill handy....
