Every year we let the birthday kid choose
what they want to do for their birthday "Day". This year Bryce and Caleb had a hard time agreeing on what they wanted to do and it was a bit of a stressful morning. Anything Caleb wanted to do Bryce did not and vis versa. So....next year we have decided we will either let them each pick an activity and a food choice or we will plan a fun day for them to avoid the mess we had this year. They are branching out enough that they are having trouble agreeing on favorite activities.
The other difference about this birthday was that they boys wanted clothes instead of just toys. They each got a Nike outfit. Caleb got a watch from Abby and Bryce got a hermit crab from Abby. Bryce has been wanting a pet and we figured that a crab is about the only thing we could add to the family right now.
The first activity of the morning was golfing. Of course the girls stayed home for that so I don't have any pictures. They had fun playing the junior course and were back mid morning for more birthday fun. Next they wanted to go to the pool. The weather was not very cooperative though. It was windy, cloudy and we were in a thunderstorm watch all day. We held the kids off for awhile trying to decide what the weather was going to do but finally decided to just go and if it started raining so be it. The water was freezing but they had a great time.
This is how Emerson hangs out at the pool. She slept most of the time.
Bryce 8 years old
Caleb 8 years old
Happy Birthday Boys!
They both got to choose somewhere to go eat but we talked them into splitting that up throughout the weekend so it wasn't so much food in one day. Bryce's pick was Lazlo's and Caleb's pick was Chipotle. More delicious than the McDonalds choice of just a couple years ago but much more expensive.
They also decided to not have cake this year and instead had Oreo dessert, a family favorite.
