Luke's 8th Birthday



Happy 8th Birthday Luke!  

Today is Luke's birthday.  Eight.  My baby!  It's hard to believe that 8 years ago today we had to cancel Emma's 3rd birthday party because Luke arrived two weeks early (which was awesome).  I had spent hours the night before decorating the Dora cake  We postponed the party to the following weekend.  WHAT?!  Why didn't anyone stop me from hosting a party with a one week old baby plus two more kids?  

Joel always gets creative and prints fun posters.  We always decorate a "birthday chair".  The highlight of the birthday was his gift  - a Kindlefire.  We have been hearing about the Kindle for months; he likes to tell us in detail exactly which games he's going to download.  Minecraft seems to be the favorite.  He requested my chocolate cupcakes for school, and toffee latte ones at home.  We also had a soda buffet (hence the orange soda in the picture with Superman) and a tea party.  I'm not sure why he wanted a tea party, but he kept saying he wanted one with Sprite.  We had Sprite, but he drank so many other sodas that he couldn't manage drinking Sprite!  I guess we all are going to be going on a camping trip this summer for 2 nights?  Camping is usually part of his gift.  Time will tell whether this will be a full family camping trip, or if one of us will stay at home :)
