Levi's Birthday Celebrations

Happy birthday to our 12 year old, Levi!! 

We had a busy weekend celebrating Levi's birthday!

Friday I took cupcakes to his class:

Everyone loved the poop emijo theme:

When we got home from school, Levi opened his card and gift from Grandma & Grandpa:

For dinner we went to Earls and Levi got a signed Oilers puck:

He was very surprised and happy!

The party continued Saturday night... we went to Galaxyland for an evening of all you can ride fun!

and Sunday was Levi's family party:

Levi wanted his own cake, so I made a big cake for all of us to share and then a little cake - just for the birthday boy! 

Spring Break

No tropical Spring Break for us! We stayed home, but really made the most of the break.

Lots of games:

We went out to the lake for a few days.
