8th Birthday Weekend!


Landry's birthday was last Friday.  It had started snowing here the day before and school was canceled on her birthday!

So, we invited her friend, Kelan, over to play in the snow and celebrate her birthday. 





(these two pics having nothing to do with birthday....just some pictures from the view from our street)



After we came inside and warmed up, we had a mini-birthday celebration with our family and Kelan. 



Later that evening we took the kids to Gatti Town (her birthday restaurant of choice) for dinner and to play some games. 

The following morning was her birthday party at the Science Spectrum. 




Whatever Jeff was doing over there at that table, it was quite popular.....


The motley crew........


Doesn't every 8 year old girl dream of having a dinosaur skeleton birthday cake?


The kids got to learn about and touch a snake.....


a bearded dragon......
(here Landry is explaining why it's called a bearded dragon.  Got Animal Planet?)


and a tortoise.


Later that afternoon, my mom, dad, sister, and brother all came into town to be here for Landry's baptism the following day with us. 

After we came home from dinner, Landry opened her presents and we had MORE CAKE!

I love that Landry loves what she loves regardless of if it's "in" or not. (of course, for all I know it's in!) I know you are so proud of her!

What a super fun, super busy weekend y'all had! And that cake your mom brought... Wow. Super cute!
