Lukey's 9th Birthday!

 Luke is now 9 YEARS OLD!  Wow-time really does fly by.  We celebrated a little early Sunday evening with a little family pre-bday partay!  He was so excited to open his gifts and had fun running around and thanking everyone:

 He ran and gave hugs so fast, I only got the back of him or him running away!  He really loved all his gifts...

Avengers Legos!

Thanks Papa!

A Nerf Vortex Gun!

 But he seemed to most excited about the food!

Milky Ways!  Woo Hoo!

 As with my other children, Luke does not like cake.  But he LOVES Aunt Meish's brownies and chocolate chip cookies.  She was nice enough to make some for the birthday boy!  It was a great night!

 BUT - Tuesday was the Big Day - May 1st - His Real Birthday!  I had set out a new t-shirt and a NEW HAT for him when he came down for breakfast.  He's been wanting a new hat.  The Route 66 Hat is starting to fall apart.  But we just haven't been able to find just the right one.  But I took a chance, and picked this one out without him and HE LOVES IT!  It's his favorite colors too.  Here he is with the shirt and hat enjoying his cinnamon roll breakfast:

9 years old!

 He went to school and when I picked him up, he said it was the "greatest" day!  I had to work, so he came home and played with the kids and with his new toys until daddy got home.  Then it was family present time!

For dinner, Luke wanted to go to Islands and have some of their Mac N Cheese!  It's Kids Eat Free on Tuesday nights...so off we went!  Except, after we ordered, the server came and told us that they ran out of Mac N Cheese.  He was devastated.  He just laid his head on the table and was so sad.  Poor Guy!  But never fear, there was a Chili's right down the street....so daddy called and ordered their Mac N Cheese kids meal to go and saved the day!  Our happy boy was happy again and then we got some DQ for dessert!

Happy Birthday Luke!  We Love You So Much!!!
