it was a really great extended birthday weekend. grant and emily had a half day on thursday, and both friday and monday off of school. my mom, and becky and the boys came up to help celebrate-so we stayed at my aunt beth's. it is so fun to play games in the evening and wake up to eat breakfast with everyone. grant's day started with birthday pancakes and eggs, then a basketball game with the biggest cheering section yet. the game was close, but grant scored a goal, played great defense and his team ended in victory. after the game, everyone headed over to lifetime fitness for pizza and more activities. the boys played kickball and dodgeball. the party room was huge and filled with all sorts of fun times for the rest of the kids. ashley's cake pops were a huge hit (thank you ashley and the sugar beats bakeshop!)
after the party the cousins came back to the farm for more games of football and "try and make me laugh"
thank you to everyone who had a part in the planning and implementing of all the birthday festivities. it is a lot of work-but very worth all the great 8 year old smiles :)
there was another birthday adjoining ours-one for a 3 year old. halfway through kickball, spiderman and batman showed up (to help with the other party) see if you can find grant's reaction to them coming into the gym.
troy's comment was "well, they have to work out somewhere."
the girls were happy to help with the gift opening
troy led anneliese and delaney through rigorous hurdle exercises
no one was successful at cracking emily-she was determined not be smile :)
