8th Birthday!!!!

On Dawson's 8th birthday we planned lots of fun around the number 8.  He had donuts shaped like the number 8, opened 8 presents, went to Chuck E. Cheese where he was given 88 coins to play games, went ice sk-8-ing at The Woodlands ice rink, stopped by Toys R Us to spend his $8, and stayed up until 8:00 to watch Star Wars. 

 

Cherry sprinkle donuts shaped like an 8 in honor of his 8th birthday.




8 presents

Notice how both boys are equally excited.  Brady loves Dawson and is always thinking about him and looking out for him.  He gets genuinely excited for Dawson on his special days.  Also, this was the present Brady picked out for Dawson so he was especially exuberant.

Aaah, a dragon!!!

A hug and a kiss for his sweet little brother.

Excited to get the Rush Hour game.

And a Star Wars Lego set.

I always wanted the game of Life when I was a kid - now that I have a kid I got it for him so that I can play it too.  :-)

A new scooter!
 

Super happy about this present from Gramps . . .

 

. . . . his very own Kindle.

All of his fantastic birthday presents.

Birthday lunch at Chuck E. Cheese.

They were the only 2 there for the first ticket toss so they accumulated lots.

Our handsome 8 year old!!!
