8th Birthday

Tyler just celebrated his 8th birthday.  Kinda sad when I think that this is my youngest and last to be baptized.  All Tyler wanted to do for his birthday was to have a football party (I couldn't get him to bite on Classic Skate Center or going to a movie with friends), so we had to plan an outdoor football party.  Fortunately for us, the weather was absolutely beautiful so we had the entire party outdoors.  We converted our backyard into a football field complete with a concession stand and had all the boys report for football training camp.  They had to earn tickets at different stations, such as passing, catching, punting and kick-off.  Then they spent their tickets at the concession stand for food.  Hayley and her friend Whitney were gracious enough to spend their Friday night working the concession stand, so thanks girls!  Afterwards, we had a pinata, then played a game under the lights.  The boys had a blast, and it turned out really well!  Happy Birthday Tyler!

That sounds like fun! I know I swore off little boy birthday parties at home, but this party looks doable. I just need some older children to help out!
