As hard as it is to believe our Mac turned 8
Mac was excited for his birthday this was a big year for him and he was counting down. This was his special year because he was baptized, it was his friend birthday party year, and it was the year that his dad had promised him he would get a pocket knife. I have to admit I wasn't sure about the pocket knife, but to see the joy on his face and the light in his eyes when he opened it made it all worth it.
I love listening to our kids as they plan their meals for their birthday. Mac wanted eggs in a hole and Lucky Charms for breakfast, a lunchable for lunch, and taco salad for dinner. Pretty easy for me and he was in heaven.
Every other year the kids get to have a friend party. This year Mac decided to have an alien party. It was great for me because it was easy and fun to put together. I have to say I was so impressed with the group of boys Mac hangs out with. That is the best feeling for a mother is liking the friends your kids have. We started the party off making UFOs. The boys had great imaginations and worked hard.
Then we went out to see how well they would fly. We were surprised at how well they did fly. We then had a little competition to see who's would go the farthest.
Up next was pin the eye on the Alien.
Then presents
And then we ended it all with some Alien cake!
I thought I would include a picture of the invitations we sent out. What a great day it was!! We feel so blessed to have our sweet little Mac in our family. He is the peace maker in our family. He has a calm presence about him but he can loose control but usually only for a minute. He is as tender hearted as they come and tries his best to make everyone happy. Happy Birthday our sweet boy!

You do such fun parties! I might have to hire you when my kids feel like they need to have more than a family party. The cake was way cute....you should open a cake shop!
