Happy 8th Birthday, Landen!

Our oldest is now 8 years old!  There is an advantage to being born on Labor Day.  It seems Landen usually has a week of celebrations as our families get together.  We decided not to do one BIG party this year.  Instead, he will have several small ones.  He started on Sunday at Grandma Shirley and Papa Butter's house.
Landen started his birthday bright and early.  He got out of bed shortly before 6am yesterday, came into our room, and announced, "I turned 8 twenty minutes ago!"  He had his friend Nick over after school to play and celebrate.  He received the movie Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs from his aunt Amanda in the mail.  As you can see, Nathan likes this movie, too.
 His present from mom and dad was a new bigger bike.  He was pretty excited about that, too.
Landen chose to have a John Deere cake again this year.  He has had a John Deere cake for at least half of his birthdays, but I always do something a little different.  Teresa helped me make the tractor cake this year.  The chocolate donut tires were a big hit.
Are we done celebrating?  Not yet!  He will have a cake with his cousins this weekend, too!
Happy 8th Birthday, Landen!
