Luke's 8th Birthday Party
Luke had his birthday party at the park on Friday. Here he is in the middle of his "boy crew", with Ben and Alex to his left, and Miles and Jacob to his right. He knew exactly what he wanted this year and we pretty much did just that. We had pizza, chips, and orange soda. The boys played, ran around, acted crazy and yet managed to be so COOL!! Because we all know that being 8 and being a boy is just about the coolest thing ever! That and squirting your friends with water balloons and turning the play structure into a water slide! Other highlights were toasting each other with orange soda, riding scooters and just having some extreme fun! I knew the party was a success when I heard him tell his friends, "This is so much fun. Isn't this the best birthday party ever!" After the party "wrapped,"at the park, the after party got started with a sleepover, to keep the fun going. Luke and Jacob stayed up watching movies until almost midnight. Yawn!!! As a Mom, I have to step back and realize how much Luke has grown up. He is turning into a 'tween, he knows who he is, he's confident and likes to have a good time. What more could a Mom hope for?? We've got a great kid!
