Happy Birthday Jamie!

Today was Jamie's 8th birthday...our little man is growing up so fast!
I made cupcakes and took them to school for afternoon snack with his class. They were a huge hit!



Grandma drove up from Rio Rancho in time for us to pick Jamie up at Parker's and drive to Dairy Queen in Monte Vista for his birthday dinner. They made him this special cup of chocolate ice cream and the employees all came out and sang "Happy Birthday" to him. I know they do the song and a special treat at most sit down restaurants (Chili's, etc.) but I've never seen it in a fast food place. It was an unexpected, and very nice surprise!


He opened his gifts from Bill & me and Grandma when we got home from Dairy Queen. We gave him a SkyRail Marble Roller Coaster set (like the ones he's been playing with at Science Saturday), the newest Alvin & the Chipmunks DVD, a baseball Wii game and three games for his Gameboy (yay for eBay!). Grandma gave him a container of lemonade packets...not exactly what a kid wants for his birthday BUT...inside the container she also put $20.

All in all...a very good day for an eight year old!

The fun will continue when he has his birthday party on Sunday at the bowling alley.
