It's Great to be 8!

May 3rd, Britton turned 8 years old.  We have had a very busy weekend celebrating his birthday.  We started out the day with Krispy Kreme donuts in the morning and then met Britton at school for lunch.  We got him a 10 piece nugget meal for himself. He was pretty excited.  When he got home from school we opened presents.  We got Britton a Red Rider BB gun and he was sooo excited!  He is such a good shot too!

In my family it was a tradition to get to go to a special dinner with just our mom or dad on our 8th, 12th and 16th birthday.  This year we decided to carry on that tradition and took Britton out for dinner to a Japanese steak house.  He loved getting to go on a date with just us and thought the whole cooking in front of us thing was awesome.  He said it was the best birthday ever. 

Friday Britton's birth mother, Jami, came into town and we hung out together.  it was great to have her in town. Britton was so excited and it really made the weekend special. Saturday was a big day because Britton got to be baptized!  He was so cute and so happy.   We had a lot of family in town to support him including Dustin's mom and step-dad, his sister and her family and his brother and his family, my mom and step-dad, my sister and her family, and Dustin's cousin.  Britton was so excited that everyone came and especially that his cousins were able to come.

Sunday was a big day for our family too because Dustin not only got to confirm Britton, but he also got to bless Caden. Caden's birth mother was also able to come and it was great to have her there.  Caden was so cute and just smiled and smiled at her.  Caden looked so cute in his little white outfit.  It was a busy weekend filled with a lot of family, food and fun!
