It's great to be 8!!!

My sweet darling boy is 8! I say it at every birthday, for every kid, but seriously, why is time going so quickly?  How on earth have 8 years passed since this little cutie was born? 

 Clint had night class tonight (it seems like he's teaching on every birthday) so we had birthday dinner and cake last night.  Emery chose Italian Mushroom Skillet with bread sticks and salad for dinner and pineapple (sunshine lemon) cake for dessert.  He loved it.

 Today for school treats, we took red velvet cupcakes (he only picked them because he loves red and thought that red cupcakes sounded cool) with butter cream and red sprinkles.  I found a printable of Lego Ninjago figures that I could print, and those went on top.  Everyone in the class thought they were super cool.

Most of Emery's presents this year are tied to his baptism (November 30 at 9 AM and you're invited!) so the only present he opened today was a subscription to National Geographic Kids Magazine.  He's been pouring over it all afternoon and evening telling me all sorts of random facts that he finds fascinating.  That gift came from Chani, Saya, and Asher.  He also got his new suit, but that's kind of a lame gift when you're a kid.
