My Nephie's 7th Birthday

On January 30th my sweet, kind nephew Elliott celebrated his 7th Birthday. I gasp for air every time I think about him being SEVEN years old.  How can the time go by so FAST!  I'll never forget the day when I became an "Aunt" to my sister's children. I was already an "AUNT" to my sweet nieces on Kevin's side but to be at the hospital and see my nephew only minutes old opened up a new kind of love in my heart.  My nephew is the #1 FAN to the PITTSBURGH STEELERS.  My sister was uber creative with his party and sent invites from the NFL Commissioner inviting each party guest to the NFL draft. Each party guest could pick the team of their choice for the draft. Of course our family chose the Pittsburgh Steelers because gold & black flows though our blood. One of the sweetest things about the party was that Elliotts sweet PE teacher, Coach Sweet & his wife came to the party. They were Patriot fans but it meant so much to Elliott and his classmates that their "coach" came to the party. he ate with them, played games with them, and drove them around in the race cars.  It was so kind & sweet. I named Coach Sweet the MVP of the party! 

 We celebrated at Incredible.Pizza with dinner, games, attractions, and prizes. It was a fun night!

Here's Uncle Matt in his favorite Steelers Nation attire....visor, hair and all!

 Birthday boys' little brother, my sweet nephew Jerrytt.  Jerrytt thought he was big stuff eating with all of Elliotts friends!

 The PARTY FAMILY and MR. Elliott himself! It was so much fun celebrating this little man.  You know it's fun when you look back in your back seat on the 20 minute ride home and both boys are asleep!

 Will totally loved the party too.

Happy Birthday Elliott Wood!  You are such a good boy, an excellent big brother, a compassionate nephew, and the best big boy cousin my children could have.  We love you Elliott!
