Look who turned 8!

The last couple of weeks have been real eventful for little Daniel. The biggest highlight was turning the big 8. He has been looking forward to his birthday for weeks and when the day finally he arrived, he got sick. Nothing like waking up the morning of your big day and being ill. He missed almost a whole week of school. Staying home did have its advantages because he was able to play his new Nintendo DS and build his new LEGO sets. He is my gaming boy and loves to play but usually is not allowed to play Wii or Playstation on school days so getting his own DS and playing on school days, that was a present of itself. Since his birthday party will not be until April, we went to a local bakery to pick out a treat for him instead of me making a cake. Lets face it, I would have eaten most of it so I knew I better not make one. Daniel also reached WOLF rank in Cub Scouts. He loves being a scout and is looking forward to working toward his BEAR rank this next year. And the latest thing was losing two more teeth, one on top and one on the bottom. He is such a good boy and I am so lucky to be his mother.

His new smile.
Daniel picked this one because it had a strawberry on top. He loves strawberries but the cake did not disappoint.

Lendl picked out a big cookie at the bakery. It was all about the red and green frosting. It was a YUMMY cookie.
