Happy 9th Birthday Parker

We just finished up a fun week celebrating our 9 year old!   

 

Parker woke up bright and early on Wednesday ready to open his presents before we left for school!  He was excited about his new water bottle from MerMer and Craig and his very first BB gun from us!

 

We all enjoyed Parker's birthday pancakes and Parker was so excited about his new watch from Granna and Granstan.

 

 Daddy and Papa brought Parker lunch at school which is always a fun treat!

We didn't have our family dinner with his real cake until Friday, but it's not really a birthday without cake, so that night we all shared one small piece I bought at the store!

 

Parker didn't want a big birthday party this year, so Friday, three of Parker's close friends (Cole, Kaden & Robert) came home with him after school to play.  We took them to see the movie Ratchet and Clank and then came back to the house for pizza and cake.  Our families joined us for dinner and presents and then the boys played their hearts out until I took them home at 9:30.

For the second year in a row, Parker requested a baseball cake.

 

Parkers friends got him some really neat Nerf guns and the boys had so much fun playing with them the rest of the evening.  Parker said it was one of his best birthdays ever and I have to agree with him.  It was so fun to watch them laughing and having fun together.  I was sad to see the evening come to an end, but I am glad Parker had a great time and felt celebrated by those that are closest to him!
