birthDAY

So today was the actual birthday and we spent it as a family. 

It was really so fun. 

The boys had coupons for free birthday cones from Baskin Robbins, so we headed over in the morning to cash in on that deal!

They really lucked out too, the owner/manager was in and even treated them both to an extra cone. 

So kind of him. 

The boys definitely enjoyed it. 

After that, we headed over to the theater to catch a movie. The boys wanted to see Inside Out.
It was pretty cute. Jon wasn't in love with it. He really wanted to see Minions. But the boys picked so Inside Out it was.

Later, we went to Red Robin for dinner. (More birthday coupons to use, sweet!)

Our waiter made sure they got a birthday song and treat...more ice cream. 

The boys didn't seem to mind. 

Sorry for this fuzzy shot, but I actually kind of like it.

AT home later, they got to rip into the presents from the family.

 Some new video game stuff....

 Then they got to work as a team on a scavenger hunt to find their main gifts.....

Justin's been begging for a bike.

 What a lucky boy.

 

And Jason has been clamoring for a new scooter.

 

 We opted for a store bought cake this time. It tasted much better than the one we had yesterday.

Make a wish!!

I'm still kind of stunned that they're eight years old now. They get to be baptized next weekend. 

The time is sure flying by. 

From this....

..to this in what seems like the blink of an eye. 

Love these two.
