Happy Birthday Aydin

Its Aydin's Birthday!!

I cannot believe I have an eight year old already. Yes- you are reading correctly- Aydin turned 8! This year, he wanted his friends to come over to play and sleep over. These boys had a great time. Aydin woke up…. Early as usual and wanted to open presents before the sun came up! Of course… since I love birthdays- I didn’t make him wait.

His new bike.

His friend from school came by around lunch time to take Aydin to the pet store and got him his very own beta fish and tank. He thought this was so cool!

Around 4 his friends starting showing up and that’s when all the fun began. They played on the trampoline, army (nerf wars), ordered pizza, built a fire outside, jumped some more, roasted marshmallows, had a dance party, balloon fights, opened presents, and then finally sat down at around 9:30 to watch Iron Man 2 (Aydins favorite).
These boys had so much candy and snacks- they didn’t even touch the cake I had decorated for Aydin….

Yum... Marshmallows

Balloon wars...

Finally.... They sat down long enough to watch a movie

SO- Sunday night we had friends over for dinner and cake…. To celebrate Aydin some more. We are so happy and grateful Aydin is in our family. He is such a great help, a sweet, loving, compassionate, and caring little man. He loves his sister (most of the time) and brother.
