We had a great day celebrating Hayden's 8th birthday. It was really low key (just the way we like it). We started with our a family tradition of colored pancakes, turkey bacon and a fruit salad. Hayden picked teal and purple for the pancake colors.
We then spend a few hours in the backyard playing in the wonderfully warm weather until a nasty wind storm rolled it. Faruq took Laila and Hayden out for a bite of lunch while Sophie and I stayed home to finish the birthday cake.
We had intended on having a BBQ but Hayden opted for Edo as his birthday dinner so that was what we had. Afterwards we played a bit longer outside then came in for baths, cake and presents.
I borrowed this idea from a few friends that have made it. Super easy cake with M&M's and Kit Kat bars on the outside. It was a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. So really no calories at all.
Hayden loved the cake !
It is near impossible to get a picture with all kids looking at the camera so this will have to do I guess.
Opening presents more LEGO and a DSi Game.
We had a great day celebrating Hayden and I really do find it hard to believe he is already 8.
Happy Birthday my sweet boy !
