Birthdays are kind of a big deal around here...and for 5 months of the year we have one right after the other. 3 in June, 1 in August, 1 in September and 2 in October. Whew!
Luke's was October 5th, and we had a great time celebrating with him. For his party with the family, all he wanted was to go to Chuck E Cheese, so we had a Spiderman themed fun time there. (Remind me never to go there on a Sunday afternoon again, ok? Thanks.)
The one tradition we have with our kids on their special day, is to let them choose the menu of the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner is totally up to them. Luke's was truly unique this year. Breakfast was Cinamelts from McDonald's. Have you ever had those? They are delicious. David went in to order them early in the morning and said he needed 9 of them. The girl working at McD's was like, "did you say nine?" For lunch we had C.E.C pizza and then for dinner...Luke wanted Blinnas. They are like a sourdough pancake that is a recipe from my dad's grandmother, passed down. We have never had them for dinner though! I think this birthday boy was in heaven!
For a cake (yes, we all had a stomach ache at the end of the day) he wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate chips. (a chocolate lover like his mommy!) He also dipped his face in it.
Ah, like I said in Maddy's birthday post, I wish they would just stop growing up. But apparently I am out of luck in that area. Luke is such a wonderful boy. He is full of spunk and energy, but also full of tenderness and love. His smile and laugh bring life to any room. His hugs and kisses melt my heart. I am so excited to see what the future holds for him.
