Birthdays are pretty mellow at our house. We let them pick out their dinner and somewhere fun to go but it's rare the kids have friend parties. David and I talked about letting Ashton do a friend party this year and we pulled off a surprise for him. My parents were in town so my Dad took Ashton to McDonalds while I picked up 3 of his friends. When he came back in he was shocked when he opened the door. It was hilarious. It took him a little while to get excited. David took the boys to go play laser tag while I stayed home. They had a blast.
Bad lighting but here he is with his budies.
Then they came home for cake and ice cream. Ashton is hilarious and smart. He keeps us on our toes with his negotiating skills. Sometimes I find myself debating with him and I have to stop myself and say he is 8 this isn't necessary. His Dad is his favorite playmate and he is a very responsible oldest kiddo. He loves to read and has become a pretty good little piano player in less than a year. He is always making up games for he and his buddies and sisters to play. I love this boy!!
