we celebrated william's 9th birthday recently. it's hard to believe he's 9 now! it was a weekend full of festivities. below is the run-down of events.
we had a friend party at the bowling alley. william likes to bowl, and it was a good time...although a little crazy with 7 boys. they were also ansey to play the arcade games right next to the lanes. i'm not a big fan of arcade games, but we gave each kid a little money to play. then we served pizza, pop, and cinnamon rolls. honestly, the cinnamon rolls were good (what beats homemade cinnamon rolls?). william also opened presents and cards. all-in-all, it was a good party.
we also had a family get-together. it was a nice low-key time. we ate dinner (lassagna) and dessert (brownies) and sat around and chatted. william and two of his cousins played. it was really nice.
then on the actual day, we went out to in-n-out burger and opened presents. some of william's biggest presents were a nice lego set (from grandma and grandpa roberts), money (from grandma leslie), an old-timey boy scout hiking backpack, and a 4' long stuffed tiger.
below are some pictures of the fun.

Looks like fun. Nate had his last party at a bowling alley so obviously it's still fun for the older kids too. That's a REALLY old backpack. Is it sturdy enough to actually carry stuff in? Chris and Nate did a 10 hike on Saturday and a 20 mile one this Monday for the hiking merit badge.
oh man, i love this kid! looks like he had a great birthday. how can you NOT have a great birthday when you get a 4 foot tiger?
