Jackson and Josh Turn 8!!!

Friday the 13th...Jackson and Josh turned EIGHT YEARS OLD!!!  Almost all their friends are 8 and have been 8 for a while so they have been SUPER excited for their birthday. 

 

They woke up with breakfast in bed!  Jackson requested cinnamon rolls...

 Josh requested egg on toast...

 Tyce woke up and Jack invited him to join him, so cute...

 They woke up early enough that they had time to open their family presents before school...

 Pokémon cards...they are obsessed...

DOLLARS!!!!  Grandma and Grandpa Bybee sent them TWENTY FIVE one dollar bills and they thought they were millionaires...

 Homemade cards from "Lindsay's Luke"...

Grandma and Grandpa Morrill also spoiled them with games, bow and arrows, and some spending money...

I drove them to school where they got to celebrate with popsicles (Josh's choice) and fudge (Jack's choice).  After school we headed to the pool for a neighbor's goodbye party...they played until 8 then came home and crashed!

 

Saturday we had their friend party.  They requested a laser tag party so that's what they got!  Here they are before we left...

 

 Josh and his best friend Peyton...

 Super weird special effect going on in this pic!  Josh, Petey, and Joe...their baseball friends...

 Kaydon, Jackson, and Jordan...

The whole party clan ready to go play laser tag!  Pete, Joe, Tyce, Brandon, Brianna, Jake, Jordan, Adam, Josh, Kaydon, Peyton, Josh, Jackson, and Adam...

 Matt and Parker were the two "adults" that played with the kids...apparently they rocked  :)

Jackson's cake, seriously...a wrestler cake...ugh!  But he was thrilled with it!

 Josh's Nationals cake...

 Tyce and Jakey playing laser tag...

It was super nice to just have a low stress party.  I think everyone had a good time and it took minimal effort on my part (invites, cake, and goody bags!)

After the party we came home to open presents...

They've got some great friends that picked out great gifts!

I am looking forward to all that this year will entail for the twins!  They'll get baptized in a few weeks, they'll go to third grade, new school, and they're out of booster seats!  Tyce informed us this morning that "8 year olds can't snuggle mommy anymore, you're too old."  Luckily, before I burst into tears, Josh said..."NO WAY!"  Jack said, "I WILL ALWAYS SNUGGLE MOMMY!"  :)  LOVE MY BOYS!!!

It was also ANNA BANANA'S birthday on the 13th!  She turned 1 and the year has flown by!  They came over and I gave her her present (a baby Anna doll from Frozen), which she loved and snuggled until we wanted to take a pic, then she threw it on the floor.  But I know she loves it  :)
