Birthday Weekend

When we celebrated Brad's birthday a couple of weeks ago, we called it, "Birthday Weekend" because we celebrated for three days. Caleb asked if we would celebrate his birthday for as many days, and I told him "probably not." Little did he know that his birthday would be celebrated for even more days--starting with his April 1st surprise party! It was a bit of a test of endurance for me, but definitely a fun Birthday Weekend for our cute eight-year-old....

On Friday, he got to share his favorite homemade oreos with his classmates after they sang to him at school.

(Just imagine a picture of cute Caleb beaming while his friends are singing Happy Birthday!
Unfortunately I had one of those dead battery moments--grrr!)

Saturday morning he had breakfast in bed...
Then he opened presents...


And then he went to his baseball game ...
(he got the game ball for great defense and two awesome hits--one into the outfield!)...
Then he chose Red Robin for lunch...
Luckily the singing servers didn't embarrass him!

Then he watched General Conference at home...


And finally that night he finished his "Feature Creature" project (He chose Meerkats)...

(too bad we didn't document this cute project, he worked so hard and did a great presentation!)

On Sunday he got to eat his favorite Angel Food Cake with family and friends.

Whew! This was a whirlwind of a birthday, but what a great excuse to stop and celebrate (and spoil) this cute guy. He deserves it! We sure love our Caleb.
