8 years old and one day

...Here are some photos of yesterday:
Rhett, opening presents in the morning. He first opened a big package and it's a coat.
Then he opens another package with shirts. I can tell at this point he is faking his happiness over the presents. But wait for it, wait for it-
Yes! A true smile! A Wii Football Game! Exactly what he wanted. Excellent!
This photo is of their little get-together after school with neighbors. Actually, it was the best non-party I have ever thrown. The kids all played well, they loved the snacks (popcorn and hot chocolate) and they all enjoyed the cakes. There were just a couple of presents to open afterward but it wasn't a big deal. Everyone had a great time.

Rhett said he had the best birthday ever. Why? I think it had to do something with the fact that his teacher gave him no math homework. That just made his day. :)

Just 3 more days until Noah's birthday. More excitement to come!

What a great party! We made our little one's party simple too and it was much more enjoyable for all of us.
