It’s Great to be Eight

Party Time!

Well, that’s a wrap.  The 8th birthday is in the bag.  This year Gryffin requested a Lego party (same as last year, sweet boy) with Pizza Hut pizza (he was very specific about this, much to Jason’s chagrin) and vanilla cupcakes.   We made a small ramp out of some foam core and had the kids make their own race cars to run down the ramp.

I never figured out whose car this was… maybe Jason’s!

Jason was so excited to pass on his love of Calvin & Hobbes.

Gryffin’s face when he saw that Grandpa Ken had given him a Lego train set – a huge hit, to say the least!

Happy Birthday, Gryff!  It is indeed great to be eight.
