Luke's Birthday Part II

Have I mentioned before that Luke loves sugar? 
Well he does and he's got the fillings to prove it!
 No matter where I hide anything with sugar in it, he finds it.

I think he can actually sniff it out. While galloping! (refer to #5 in previous post)

So I thought he would love a cake made of sugar, sugar, and more sugar.  And he did! 

He called it his Willie Wonka cake. 

Brent and I loved Garrett's present for Luke. In about 10 minutes he busted out a Wonka bar with a Golden Ticket inside that was good for a sleepover in Garrett's room.  Pretty crafty.  And sweet.  Luke loved it. 

One of our birthday traditions has been that Brent always

takes the kids' birthdays off from work so that he can spend the day with them. 

I love that Brent does this and
I know the kids will remember the birthdays
spent with Dad (and missing school!) more than the gifts they got.


Luke did NOT want to miss his actual birthday at school. 
I mean, his teacher had it on the calendar and everything!

So Brent took him out the day after and after a day of fun
with Dad that included bowling, mini golf, a haircut, and a movie...

...we had a late night the a few of Luke's friends. 
Three girls-apparently he likes the ladies! 
They played and decorated cupcakes with the leftover candy I had. 

Sugar high-crash from sugar high-bedtime!  Done! 

Luke's 7th birthday was a success. 
We're glad you had a good one buddy!
