On Lincoln's birthday he woke up to balloons in his bedroom (no pic...not sure why.) and presents on his breakfast plate. Our boys have the option of a DS when they turn 8, they can't have one before then and Lincoln decided that was what he wanted for his birthday. He was pretty excited about it.
Eight is a pretty big birthday around our house. Lincoln has been excited about it for a while.
McKay was only too happy to help Lincoln open his presents.
Palmer bought Lincoln a stuffed penguin with is own money, I thought that was so sweet.
Pathetically enough, his birthday morning pictures are the only one that I got of his actually birthday. He and Palmer spent the day playing their DSs together and then he chose to go to his indoor soccer game later that afternoon. This was a pretty big deal because we had tickets to a USU game that was a big game for them. Josh was such a good daddy to do what Lincoln wanted to do. We had a BBQ for dinner, which is what Lincoln wanted to eat (hamburgers).
After the indoor soccer game we headed to get Lincoln his new Cub Scout uniform. It was so fun! He has been waiting to be a Cub Scout forever!
The day after Lincoln's birthday we invited my sister and her kids over for another birthday celebration. The boys' indoor game when pretty late so we decided to do cake and ice cream the next day. Lincoln asked for a Dragon Vale cake (Dragon Vale is a game he likes to play on my iPad). He had it all designed in his mind. He wanted the top of it to be a fire ball and then volcanoes and a water fall on the sides. I have to admit...I am not great at the whole cake decorating thing, but my kids are always happy with what they get so we just went with it.
That waterfall was struggling...
I sure love this boy and he made me feel like a million bucks over this cake.
And being the great mom I am...I didn't have any candles, but Lincoln was a good sport and blew out the lighter 8 times :)
Lincoln got an awesome super soaker from his cousins.
We sure love these guys and are lucky they live close.
We love our 8 year old and loved sharing his birthday with him.
