william's 8th birthday



monday was william's 8th birthday. to celebrate we had a big family birthday party on sunday. we had 26 people in our house, which qualifies as big for us. it went really well. he decided to have the theme be gilligan's island so we had a pin the coconut/fish/starfish on the wall game and all of the kids got cute white sailor hats.

then on monday we had a bowling party with some of william's neighborhood friends. that was a good time. all of the kids wanted it to bumper bowl except william--so there were no bumpers. they all had a good time. after that the three of us went to wendy's for dinner (w's choice) and then opened presents and had a little cake and ice cream. by the end of the day we were all tired! but it was a lot of fun.

thanks to all who helped it be such a fun birthday. william got a lot of nice presents and really enjoyed the parties and everything.
