He had a few requests for his 8th birthday... pizza, a party with friends "on" his actual birthday, a football theme, and a football cake that wasn't flat. *wink* So we made it happen... celebrating him... celebrating being eight... celebrating such a special day.
His day started with homemade butterscotch doughnuts and a candle.
He spent his morning playing with his Legos and setting up a fire "scene".
There is no school on your birthday in the Hodges' household, so his morning was filled with more playing... with cars and playing "pretend" school with Ainsley.
For lunch, we headed to Pizza Hut to enjoy some pizza and open a couple of gifts.
Later that afternoon, a few friends came over to help us celebrate Liam.
We headed out to do a little bowling and Laser Tag.
The boys had fun bowling and a blast playing Laser Tag!
It was fun to watch them run around, laugh, and just have fun with each other!
After a couple of rounds, they were hungry and ready for a some birthday supper!
Thanks to the Dollar Store, I could check the "football/sports" theme party off my list!
And thanks to the internet and my Pampered Chef bowl,
I could check the "non-flat" football cake off the list as well!
He is eight...
Liam got a Toby Mac CD for his birthday from us, and so the boys ended the evening by having a dance party. I think they did this for at least thirty minutes. Playing different songs... Dancing around the house in a line... Copying each other... Laughing hard... Just having fun with friends!
It blessed my heart!
Sweet, Simple, Fun... the perfect way to celebrate EIGHT!
