Luke is eight! He wanted to have a math party because he's really into math (lets hope this lasts). We had a Math is a Blast party and played a bunch of games. How I let him talk me into having 11 friends come I'll never know. I guess in my mind I figured not everyone would be able to come. All of them did so I had 12 rowdy 8 year old's to handle. Thankfully Danika was still at school, Andrew went to a friends and the two little ones were at another friends house to play. It was nice to just focus on Luke, the party and the games.
The great thing about being 8 is Baptism! I'm so thankful for family and friends who came to support Luke on his special day. Luke was excited to receive his new scriptures and bag for church. Although he has been taking them to school as well....yeah he's just a little excited about them. He was excited to receive his scout shirt and book too.
Two more birthdays to go this month. Jonathan will be two (I can't believe my baby is two! I guess I'm more surprised that I'm not pregnant or have a baby already!) Danika is turning the big 12 so we will be having a big party for her as well. I've decided to throw big parties every 4 years when they are 4, 8,12 and 16. The other years they can have some friends over to play and we will have a family party (I'll still make them a birthday cake of course) but I'm not going to plan a big party with decorations and games as the other years. Happy Birthday Lukie Ookie!
