Eight is Great!

 

In January, we celebrated Jonathan's 8th birthday.  We started the morning with our "balloon waterfall" tradition.  It's so much fun and the kids really look forward to it.













Then, for his birthday breakfast, we had pancakes, eggs, bacon and cantaloupe.  Jonathan is all dressed up because he was chosen to be a greeter at his school today.  Las Lomas Elementary is hosting teachers and administrators from all over the country because they received Lighthouse status as a"Leader In Me school.  (Basically the 7 Habits for kids.)







His gifts include a remote-control machines that he can build, spy gear, and his own set of scriptures.








For his birthday bash, we threw a super-cool spy party, complete with confidential invitations, spy training, clues to solve, and a mission to complete (to find the stolen presents).



















 








All in all, it was a huge hit.  A few days later, we went to the temple to take pictures for his baptismal invitation.
































 

We ended up using the picture below.
