Owen couldn't wait to get home and put Rumblebuffin in her new cage. Within an hour, she was re-named Hammy.
By the time the Grandmas came over to join us for dinner, she was re-named Sugar.
Owen was beside himself to show Grandma Suzanney his new hamster and how the cage opens and closes and how the wheel turns.
The wheel seems to be Sugar's best friend. We hear it turning every night when we check on Owen before going to bed. :)
Dylan is a big Daddy's boy.
Owen wanted brownies for his birthday dessert, so that is what I made. He really wanted to help light the candles.
He still really wanted to light the candles, but we thought that probably wasn't very good idea. Even though the boy is now eight. years. old.
Can you tell he was loving having us all sing Happy Birthday to him while he focused on when he could blow out the candles and for what he was wishing since bringing home a new hamster?
This boy just loves his Daddy!
This girl didn't get to share in birthday brownies because she didn't do such a great job eating her dinner, but....she didn't seem too disappointed. Chloe had a blast laying out all of her silly bandz to show her Grandma Suzanney.
So much more fun now that Owen can read his own birthday cards. :)
Chloe had fun taking pictures with Grandma Suzanney's camera. :)
Owen gave Daddy a big hug after opening up his extra present of a Pokemon book.
Owen absolutely LOVED this Hammy shirt!
He thought the exercise ball for the hamster was pretty cool, too.
He'll be talking about this being the best birthday ever, when he's older. I think that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing his big day with us!
