Eric's Birthday

It would not be a birthday without a party! This was our year for a family party. Our theme was the DENVER BRONCOS, Eric's favorite team. I was really surprised that I was able to find him a cake and napkins that match our theme. Thank goodness for football season!

He is really into being cheesy for the camera. It cute, don't you think?

He got a lot of really nice gifts. He got an mp3 player and a Bronco's sweatshirt from Brandon and I. A *Bakugan starter pack and books from one grandma. Lego's, books, and clothes from another grandma. He also got MONEY!


We had a really nice night. We had Grandma and Grandpa Pinon, Uncle Aaron and Aunt Marissa with Gabe, Carly, and Lauren, PLUS, Marissa's mom Debbie here for his party. We had a yummy dinner of pizza (eric's choice), bread sticks, salad, the great cake from the first picture and ice cream. The big boys watched football while the kids played and the Mom's talked. It was a really fun night. We were especially thankful to have Marissa here with sweet Lauren who is still recovering from her heart surgery. She is doing sooo well and we are grateful that her prognosis look great!

Eric had a great night. Since our family has left he has been in his room playing with all of his new toys. He is excited to read his book and he hasn't taken that mp3 player our of ears since he opened it! He is really becoming a great kid. He is becoming someone that I can talk to about various things. I am sad that he is getting older because he is my baby, but happy that I am getting a new friend. I love you Eric! Happy 9th Birthday!

* NOTE TO ALL MOTHERS OF BOYS-- If you are yet unaware of what Bakugans are please educate yourself and QUICKLY! They are clearly the popular toy for boys 5 and up. They are very hard to find in the stores and many sites on the internet have been sold out. If you have a boy who likes these and wants them for Christmas please start shopping for them NOW. It will be a sanity saver. Good luck.
