Austin's 8th Birthday

Austin wanted a video game party this year.  We looked at a local arcade and realized it wasn't for us.  I considered Chuck E Cheese however it's always so busy. Then a friend gave us a recommendation of a video game truck coming to our house.  We knew that was perfect.  Austin was very excited about it.

However a major snow storm came the weekend of his birthday party.  We got over a foot of snow.  And the truck had to cancel the morning of his party.  We were bummed however we were determined to have still have his party.  Brian and I were a little stressed for a bit but we put it together for him. Thank goodness for this addition to the house.  His friends brought over some gaming systems and Brian set them all up.  We had 2 gaming systems upstairs and two systems downstairs.  The kids really had a great time!  Also Austin loves the drink Switch.  We found some a GFS so that is what the kids had to drink.  It was awesome for them.  We covered chocolate bars with paper as a video game controller and that was the party favors.  It was a great party.  Everyone had fun!

On Monday it was Martin Luther King Jr day so the kids did not have school.  Friends invited us over to swim inside which was a lot of fun for them.  The next day was Austin's birthday.  Well because of the cold and snow, it was a snow day.  He got his birthday off school.  We went to Chick Fil A for lunch and friends came over to sled.  Then that night, Brian took them skiing.  Austin loves skiing!  And he's getting really good at it.   That evening we went to Wendy's for his birthday dinner. Then he came home and opened presents.

He got a lot of beyblades, games, Switch games, and Mario Odyssey comforter.  It had a great birthday.  And I even got a picture of Austin carrying him.  I know my time being able to pick him up is numbered.  He's gotten so big.  It's crazy that he's now 8!
