Right now, as I type this up, there's approximately forty minutes left of Harrison's 8th birthday. We, of course, have already celebrated like mad people, but I still wanted to do a little something to mark the event in cyberspace. So, please join me for a brief, slightly chaotic, and wholly incomplete trip down memory lane.... Here is our boy on his actual BIRTH day...
Isn't he alert looking for a newborn? That's because he was born two months late. Just kidding....it just felt like that long. It was actually about a week and half. I still think he was a tad overdone. His first birthday, with a smiley face theme, was celebrated at our home in Summerville, SC.
Later he ate a little smiley face cupcake on his own and was yellow from forehead to chin. His second birthday, with a ball theme, was celebrated in our current home.
I served all round food: cheese balls, fruit balls, meatballs, etc. He loved it! I couldn't actually find a picture of him blowing out his candles, but here's one of him in a favorite gift...
OK, now we're going to fast-forward to birthday #6 because photos from birthdays 3-5 are being stored on an external hard drive, which I have no earthly idea how to use, and it is much to late to involve Big D, the smart one around here, in this endeavor. For his sixth birthday, we celebrated at Laser Chase, and he chose a Hot Wheels cake, one of the few which I have not decorated myself.
Last year, when he turned seven, we didn't have a party, but I did make a cake, and we celebrated with our Bible study group.
That's Jack Sparrow and company sinking into those graham cracker crumbs. The little figures wouldn't stand up unless I pushed them in thigh-deep. If you'd like to see a better picture of this cake, you could to last year's blog entry about this event by clicking here. And then, finally, I snapped this picture last night after his baseball game. I made cupcakes in their team colors (Cubs!).
The celebration continues, as after church tomorrow, we are taking six of his friends to see Prince Caspian. It's opening weekend, and I know that we are insane for doing this. I'm sure I'll post some pictures in a few days. Happy 8th birthday, Harrison!!! We couldn't love you more if we tried! (Since I posted this flashback so late this time, I won't have sign-ups. We'll be back to normal this Friday...I think.) |
