Luke had been planning this year's birthday party since about a week after last year's birthday party. He wanted to go bowling again!!! This year was a little more complicated since he is now in school and has a whole classroom full of little friends plus the friends he has outside of school, plus this needed to be a joint party for Aaron too since we have a limited number of free weekends and a baby sister due to make and appearance very soon. We told him he could invite a limited number of friends and we also invited a few friends for Aaron, though not as many since he is young enough to not have lots of friends that he absolutely needed to have be there. Aaron invited Charlie, Xavier and Levi and unfortunately the cold season took out all but Charlie. Luke invited Brody, Jack, Owen, and Kenion from school and Amare', Onnyka, Hope, Glen and Janessa from church etc. Janessa, Owen and Kenion were missing from Luke's group, but I think all the kids had a great time playing together. For the littlest ones this was a first time bowling but I think most of the bigger kids had gone at least once before, and some of the grownups got to bowl as well. (-:
After bowling we had a quick party with cupcakes made by my friend Kara with airplanes on top of Aaron's and Luke's made into the shape of a T-rex!
There were lots of presents to open and both the boys got some really cool toys, but on the way home Luke was already trying to figure out if his friends would give him more toys on Monday since that is actually his birthday. (-; Silly goose!
All the kids used bumpers for bowling and here is the score sheet for Aaron's group. Aaron won the game with 91 points! More than I ever get, that's for sure!
After the party we got a movie for the kids and made popcorn for supper at home. Aaron decided to wear his new had from Charlie and Ben and Andrea the whole time!
It was definitely a good day. They still have a few more birthday things coming up. Luke is going to take treats to school tomorrow (today school was closed for low temps and snow) and they each got to choose a birthday cereal just like we did when I was a kid. We got a second hand tablet for really cheap from a friend so now we can make it really kid proof with only kid appropriate things on it and let them play on it rather than on our own tablet, and since the party was more something that Luke wanted and was looking forward to I have a surprise for Aaron related to airplanes that is coming up later this week. I will try to take and post lots of pics. (-:
