Hank is 8!

 

We did a lot of celebrating over the weekend for Hank's 8th Birthday!  Before I get in to the party details, let me just say I cannot believe he is 8 years old!  

 

Friday:  After my Uncles Funeral Service, we dropped the kids off to their Dad & he had his party with that side of the family.

 

Saturday:  I picked them up around 1 and we headed home to get ready for his party with his friends.  Creag had been working on installing his Basketball Hoop since Wednesday night, so we were both ecstatic to finally be able to show him!  I sent Creag a quick text when we pulled into the neighborhood & he had his basketball wrapped in the driveway with a little note that he came up with on his own.  It said..."To Hank, Kentucky is known for it's Horse Racing & Basketball.  Come to the back yard to see which one you got!" 

 

 

 

He quickly walked with us behind him, and when he saw the hoop, he smiled so big that I could see his grin from behind him!  He was so excited.  He also had Jordan's in the driveway that he tried on & then shot a few hoops.  He hasn't really quit playing since.  We had his friends coming over at 4, so I had him change & he got a look at his cake & all of the goodies that I had for everyone.  This years theme was a "Take me out to the Ballgame."  I had Popcorn & Cracker Jacks and we ordered Pizza! 

 

After dinner, we rounded everyone up to sing Happy Birthday, but before we could even sing, Hank put his face in his own Cake!!  I seriously could not believe it.  He just gently placed his face on it, like he was making a mold or something.  Lets just say that big spot where his face was, was his piece & he didn't even put a dent in it.  There was a lot of it left!

 

After cake & presents, everyone played outside for a bit until Conner, Mason, & Wyatt's parents started showing up. 

 

 

Sunday:  I got up pretty early to make Hanks requested Chocolate Chip Pancakes & then we got ready for his Football Game at Dixie.  My parents came to watch him & they won 12-6.  We had the rest of the family over for dinner at 6 & more cake & ice cream.  There was no face in the cake this time & the only pictures I got were of Willis being his cute self.

 

 

I really think that he really enjoyed & appreciated everything that we did for him!  Happy Birthday, Buddy, we love you!!
