8!

Caleb turned 8 today!   He had a wonderful day :)  He always seems to have a wonderful birthday - I think it's because everywhere he goes, he tells everyone he sees that it's his birthday!

I'd like to describe his cake request as having multiple adjectives.  It's an eight-shaped, Polar Express, ice cream cake with sparkler candles.  The frosting is whipped cream and the train is made of rice crispy treat and fondant.  And this is the best picture I have of it.
I have two cameras - one that works and one that fits my computer cord.  The one that won't take pictures is the nicer camera.  They take the same memory card, so I just switch cameras when I want to put pictures on the computer.  Sounds kind of archaic I know.  The broken camera has not worked for at least 3 years and very suddenly began working again last week.  (One of the kids picked it up by mistake.)  It just as suddenly quit working during his birthday dinner.
Annalise took this for us :)
So I switched back to the other camera.
Opening Natalie's gift.

Train-joy!
I am so thankful for my big boy!

  2. I'm sorry we missed his birthday! We missed Natalie's too. When I got my new calendar for Christmas, I did a terrible job of copying all the dates over!!! :( Glad he had a good day! Fun cake!

    1. Well maybe I'm wrong, but I thought Natalie got a card from you this year! We let Danielle's birthday sneak up on us and have been meaning to send a card ever since!

  3. I'll just let you think whatever you'd like. :) No worries on Danielle's card. Maybe you can just give it to Natalie on our behalf instead. :)
