Our big news is that Cody turned 8 and was baptized. He was pretty excited about it, not to mention his birthday party after the baptism. Everything turned out pretty nice with the help of family and friends. And it was nice to have my family from Utah come down for the festivities.
On his actual birthday I made him a small cake to celebrate as a family. Oh, does he love frosting!
Cody also got a treat for breakfast. We gave him a pop tart, which I never let him have because it makes him so hyper.
We gave Cody a new watch and a Nintendo 3Ds. He was excited and I tried to make a big deal out of this birthday. I hung up balloons the night before when he went to sleep so he would wake up to a celebration.
And then it was on to making food/dessert for the party. Cody wanted an Angry Birds theme and I was surprised how many ideas I found online.
But first it was the baptism. We took a few pictures before Cody and Daniel changed into their baptism jumpsuits. And then some more pictures of them in the jumpsuits. We had Daniel's Mom give a talk and then my brother, Colby give another talk. There was a special musical number by Daniel's sisters. It turned out to be a nice program.
And then it was PARTY TIME! We got home to finish decorating the back yard. We rented a jump house and that kept the kids busy most the afternoon. We had all of our family there (which is a lot of people) and a few close friends. Then we brought out the huge pig pinata and the kids were all over that. All of the kids are in baseball and have pretty good swings so you can imagine how fast that thing broke and it rainned candy.
