On Saturday we had a party at our house. Me and Spike spent much of the day making his birthday cake. He wanted strawberry cake with blackberry filling, and wanted it to look like a present. It was a lot of fun to make. He enjoyed cutting the stars and dots out with a cookie cutter and putting them on the cake. Grandma Brenda, Aunt Randie, and the kids' cousin Raidon stopped by later in the evening. I let Spike pick what we would have for dinner, so we had pepperoni pizza (and I picked up a stuffed pizza as well) from Papa Murphy's. We had made the poor kid wait to open his present until then, and so we finally gave it to him over dinner. He got the new Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii. Since he loves video games, he was really excited. Grandma Brenda brought him birthday money and a jar of pickles (he loves pickles). We all had an awesome time playing Mario for the rest of the night.
On Sunday we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Metcalf's house for a triple birthday party. Spike's uncle and cousin both have birthdays in December. His Aunt Emily and Uncle Tyler got him a silly book called Sir Fartsalot fights the booger (he has already started reading it) and Grandma and Grandpa got him two books that are about Peter Pan before he meets Wendy, and a remote control helicopter that has been buzzing around our house since Sunday.
On Monday I sang Happy Birthday and threatened him with kisses throughout the day. His sisters and Dad joined in the singing too. We all gave him birthday spankings. He pretty much got to do what he wanted, which was to play his new game and some other games we have on the Wii. I also measured him on a spot in our garage where I keep measurements of the kids on their birthdays. He was very happy that he is about 3 inches taller than Princess was on her 8th birthday.
