Evan's 8th Birthday

Evan turned 8 on January 22nd. This was a school day. He was so excited to celebrate his birthday at school. I brought cupcakes for the class and they sang Happy Birthday to him. He got to wear this cool hat for the day. He had a great time.

This is Evan sporting his birthday hat he got in school.

Evan does a little dance - maybe it's a birthday dance?

Evan celebrated his birthday party at LaserPort in Beaverton. Here he is with some of his friends and his brother. The kids got to play two games of lasertag as well as lots of video games. We celebrated with a big chocolate chip cookie and ice cream. 11 of his friends came to help him celebrate. They all had a good time.

Here is Evan with his friend Isaac.

After his party at LaserPort, we had a family party back at home. We had pizza schmizza - minus the cheese for Mr. Evan - and yet another big cookie with ice cream. There were presents and singing. He had a very busy, very enjoyable birthday celebrations!
